Description
"Situated just north of Hillwood on the eastern bank of the Tamar River, this is a beautiful and unique site, planted in 2000. Protected from the northerly winds of bass strait, the vineyard sits in a small valley, facing north/north east, it is a warm site, also influenced by the river which lies a few hundred metres to the south. This bright and sunny microclimate produces a fuller style of chardonnay, richer in its expression, full of flavour, whilst maintaining the natural acidity to match its weight. Fermented in a mix of new and second use 500L puncheons, it spent 11 months in barrels prior to 3 months resting on light lees in tank." - Winemaker Notes
