WHY WE LOVE THIS WINE

Gold Medal Winner - Royal Queensland Wine Show 2023

95 POINT JAMES HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2024

"A powerhouse of a wine with supercharged flavours of grapefruit, lemon and white stone fruit yet very much in the savoury spectrum and held together by gossamer-like acidity. There’s succulence and restraint on the palate with some funky, flinty flavour, fine creamy lees and woodsy spices adding more detail. "
Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

This wine was grown at our Auburn Road Vineyard - on the west bank of the river has weathered basalt soils with mineral variation that produces great ﬂavour complexity. NASAA Organic Certiﬁed site since November 2022.

VINTAGE
2021

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Chardonnay

ORIGIN
Tamar Valley, Tasmania, Australia.

CRAFTING & AGEING
The grapes were harvested in the cool morning before overnight refrigerated transport to Capella Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula ready for a gentle whole bunch press. The wine was fermented with wild yeast in a mix of new and seasoned Burgundian puncheon barrels, after which partial malolactic fermentation contributed to this wine's delicate acidity and balance. Post fermentation, this Chardonnay was matured in the same barrels for 11 months before blending.

AROMA & PALATE
This is a delicately balanced cool climate Chardonnay with bright fruit, racy natural acidity and taut structure. A leaner style Chardonnay, reﬂecting its Tasmanian provenance, it has juicy lemon and ﬁne white peach fruit notes and mouthwatering acidity. The oak character is restrained, adding light notes of nougat and nuts. This wine has all the requisites to soften, integrate and mature beautifully over the next 10 or more years.

SERVING & FOOD PAIRING
Pan fried whiting, eggs Benedict, Pasta carbonara, Thai salads, creamy cheeses.
