Hesketh - Lost Weekend Chardonnay 2025

Lost Weekend Chardonnay is crisp and refreshing with well-balanced fruit sweetness and acidity; crafted with measured oak influence to accentuate the natural varietal character. It is best shared with a large group of friends.

2025 was a cooler than average growing season with a dry lead up to harvest. Low yields and an extended ripening period resulted in bright, fruitful wines.

Following harvest, the juice was pressed off skins then cool fermented in stainless steel. The wine was then racked off gross lees to keep the style clean and crisp. To add complexity, 20% of the blend was barrelled down for maturation in new French oak barriques for 4 months.
