The Heemskerk Chardonnay displays an elegant cool-climate style with a brilliant pale golden color and enticing aromas of white peach, nectarine, lemon zest, toasted almonds and brioche. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture balanced by bright acidity. Flavors of ripe stone fruits, citrus and a hint of struck match are complemented by nuances of grilled nuts and a saline minerality characteristic of the Coal River Valley. The wine strikes a beautiful balance between rich fruit flavors, subtle oak influence, and a vibrant acid backbone, resulting in a complex and age-worthy expression of Tasmanian Chardonnay.

The Rockford Eden Valley Riesling 2023 is a testament to the unique terroir of the Eden Valley, high in the Barossa Ranges. This region, punctuated by ancient Red Gums and shallow, rocky soils, produces Riesling with remarkable mineral purity. The vine roots push through cracks in the submerged rock in search of water and scarce nutrients, resulting in a wine that reflects the power and character of the land. Rockford’s commitment to quality shines through in this wine. The 2023 vintage is crafted with complexity, palate weight, and softness, which are achieved by allowing the wine to age in the cellar for one or two years before release. The resulting Riesling offers a balance of fresh fruit and honeyed richness, with a subtle chalky grip and a finish laced with lime, pear, and honey. As noted by Gary Walsh from The Wine Front, it is a flavoursome and generous wine that should be enjoyed young but can also develop further with careful aging.
