Description / Reviews
"100% East Coast Chardonnay was hand-picked and chilled overnight before being whole bunch pressed into seasoned French oak (300L and 500L) and left to undergo wild fermentation with the inclusion of some solids. 50% of the wine was sulphured immediately post primary fermentation with the remaining 50% stirred without SO2 for 3 months. Left for 9 months in oak prior to blending and bottling. Fresh lime, brine and coriander seed lead the nose with subtle brioche and delicate spring florals. Taught and mealy on the palate, supported by poignant ripe nectarine and grapefruit, weaving complexity and acidity, with captivating drive and length." - Winemaker Notes
"A grower-driven chardonnay; Coal River Valley with East Coast and Tasmanian Peninsula fruit. Light straw with ripe white peach, nectarine and citrus fruits veiled in soft spice, nougat, clover blossom, meadow flowers, vanillin oak, grapefruit pith, crushed stone and ozone. A stunning saline, briny mineral cadence drives the wine forward. The fruit is gorgeous and the flavours draw out nicely. A great release from a very strong vintage." - 96+ Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
