{"product_id":"southern-light-vineyards-ghost-gum-chardonnay-2024","title":"Southern Light Vineyards Ghost Gum Chardonnay 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage in Main Ridge was defined by tiny yields. Stormy weather in spring disrupted flowering, impacting fruit set and final yields. The resulting wines are intensely flavoured as warm summer temperatures had no problem ripening the meagre crop. The hallmark of this site is its significant acid retention due to its altitude and easterly aspect. Chardonnay from Ghostgum has pronounced flavour and acidity. The final blend is made up from two blocks: I10V1 planted on own roots in 1994 at the highest elevation of the vineyard, and I10V1 planted on own roots in 1995 at the lowest elevation of the vineyard. Both blocks were hand picked on 18th March.
