Windows Petit Lot Chardonnay 2023
Windows Petit Lot Chardonnay 2023
Chris@Windows: Produced from our two more mineral based sites, Violette’s and Lucas’ blocks four clones of Chardonnay have been planted to bring complex layers and interest from the vineyard and capture the site. The fruit’s integrity has remained intact.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of lemon peel, salt brine, lemon blossoms and lime curd. The palate is medium-bodied, energetic acidity giving notes of grapefruit pith and ocean spray. Wonderfully complex with high tension that will unravel gracefully in bottle. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Plaudits
Never disappointed with Petit Lot Chardonnay (recently had a ’15 and it was smokin’). The ’23 is youthful, of course, but will go down the same path towards complexity in time. It’s steely and refreshing, the superbly integrated oak (a mix of French barriques and puncheons, 90% new) also adding some sweet spices and shape to this otherwise linear wine. 96 Points. James Halliday.

A beautiful Chardonnay. And Organic, so you won’t feel like you’ve been kicked by the mule the next day. Windows top chardonnay sells for $64. Pretty good value when you consider other flagship Chardonnays in the region go for well over $100, and Windows is rated just as highly. The word is getting out on Windows unfortunately, meaning they are selling out of their wines most years.

A boutique gem. When 19-year-old Chris Davies planted the vines here, he had a vision: single vineyard, minimal intervention, everything done by hand, everything done right.
Quality shines through in every aspect – from the fruit (which is all hand-picked and basked pressed) to the labels (which are individually numbered) to the wines (which are perfectly balanced and of exceptional quality).
James Halliday.
Chris Davies planted the dry-farmed Windows Estate vineyard in ’96, at the tender age of 19. A trained viticulturist, he has tended the vines ever since, gaining organic certification in ’19. As vigneron, he has had considerable show success for consistently outstanding wines.
