Chardonnay

Waiheke Island, New Zealand.  This wine was deliberately crafted to intensify natural minerality – both aromatically and texturally. Spontaneous fermentation at a warmer temperature helped impart more flinty aromas and salty expression on the palate, while partial malolactic fermentation built a more complex acid profile...

Adelaide Hills, South Australia. The Adelaide Hills Wine Region is world renowned for making high quality chardonnay. Corkscrew Rd is no exception. First released in 2000, this wine is everything a good chardonnay should be. Good balance of tropical fruits and citrus fruits on the palate while honeydew melon and mango are complemented by toasty oak and a buttery creaminess. A tight acid backbone with good fruit length will give a longevity to the wine and careful cellaring should see it drinking well for a good number of years...

Burgundy, France. The vines are an average of 40 years and derive the best from hillsides dominated by limestone. The vinification and breeding takes place in stainless steel vats, for a Burgundy, fleshy, fleshy, mineral and well balanced. A pleasure wine to drink quickly...

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. "More flesh than the Red Hill South Vineyard version. It’s apparent on the nose and in the mouth. Which is not to say it lacks detail or incisiveness. Citrus and nectarine flecked with honeydew melon, all held together with integrated acidity and smoked almond oak. More emphasis on texture here but it’s punchy through the finish with flinty accents. A triumph in every way. Excellent..."

Cambridge, Tasmania. Bright green-yellow colour. Super ripe but bright aromas of apple, lime, minerals and spices, with a hint of tropical fruits. Then bright, appley and a bit youthfully aggressive on the palate...

Bannockburn, Victoria. Bright and youthful, light to Medium straw with green hues. A complex nose exhibiting aromas of melon, grapefruit, spice and nutmeg with subtle vanilla nuances. On the palate stone and citrus fruits abound intermingling with grilled nuts and oatmeal derived from barrel fermentation and malolactic influences. The complex defined palate displays balanced acidity with light teasing tannins ensuring a long satisfying finish...
