The 2010 Lake's Folly Chardonnay from Australia's Hunter Valley is considered a Good vintage by the winery, known for its complexity, minerality, and aging potential, showing notes of citrus, stone fruit, toasted nuts, and a creamy texture with bright acidity, often described as having a "buttered toast" and "flinty" profile, remaining fresh and complex even years after release. 

• Tasting Notes: Expect lemon confit, peach, citrus, hints of vanilla/oak, almond meal, flint, and earthy notes, with a textural, minerally, and fresh finish.
• Style: A mid-weight, complex, and age-worthy Chardonnay, often with no malolactic fermentation, maintaining vibrancy.
• Aging: Like many Lake's Folly Chardonnays, it's built to age well, with reviews showing it holding up strongly years later.

Reviews & When to Drink

• CellarTracker: Users noted it still drinking well in 2020-2021, with notes of lemon curd, nectarine, and creamy texture, suggesting it was still in good shape.

• General Consensus: A classic, age-worthy Hunter Chardonnay that's complex and enjoyable now or with further cellaring, praised for its structure and depth

Season – Good growing season; some late vintage rain.

Colour – Light gold.

Nose – Lifted, clean aromas of citrus and stone fruit.

Palate – Fine and beautifully integrated. Stone fruit characters mesh with a creamy textural mouth feel from its time spent on yeast lees in barrel. Wonderful balance and length of flavour, as are the hallmarks of this Chardonnay.

Alcohol – 13.5%
