Brilliant very pale straw colour with a slight tinge of green around the edges and watery hue. The nose exhibits lifted white peach top notes followed by some tropical fruits, pear and spice. Fruit driven and with good textural mouthfeel the palate possesses vibrant flavours of white peach and pear along with some melon finishing with a touch of spicy cashew on the back palate. Clean crisp finish with aftertaste of ripe peach, melon, citrus and spice.
Awards and Accolades
94 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "No lack of length but no lack of flavour either. That famed Tasmanian acidity rides again. Pear, honeysuckle, sweet lime and toast with oatmeal and powdered milk notes rising as the wine breathes. In excellent shape."
From the Winery
Beautiful cool climate Chardonnay in a soft easy drinking style
This wine displays the delightful fresh tropical flavours that the Chardonnay variety develops in our vineyard site. On first introduction to this wine you will find an intense aroma of pineapple, guava with a touch of apricot.
Golden Chardonnay fruit from the Louis vineyard is cool fermented in tanks followed by extended lees contact prior to bottling. By not utilising the Burgundy technique of fermentation in oak casks this wine highlights the pure Chardonnay aromas and flavours of stone, citrus and melon fruits. The mouth-filling, smooth, fruit-salad flavours are harmoniously balanced by a refreshing crisp long finish.
