Winemaker Rodney Kempe crafts a truly fine example of Hunter Chardonnay using 100% barrel fermentation in 1/3 new French oak, 1/3 one year, and 1/3 two year. The 2007 Chardonnay provides intense aromas of pineapple, apricots, cedar, oatmeal, mango pudding and cream. Crisp acidity, rich, full, fat and viscous with a suggestion of oil in the texture. A backbone of high acidity gives balance and freshness. Long in the finish, drink now to 2017. This iconic anomaly of the Hunter Valley is famous not just for its visionary founder Dr. Max Lake going out on a limb and planting Bordeaux varieties and Chardonnay in this Shiraz and Semillon region, but also for its high quality achievable in compatible vintages, not to mention remarkable ageability. Since 2000 the winery has been in the hands of Peter Fogarty who established Millbrook in the Perth Hills, a groundbreaking winery in its own right. The new owner has thus far maintained the spirit and the quality of Dr Lake’s accolades.Lake’s Folly does not have a USA importer.
