Fruit for the 2022 Tilbury was sourced from the Lenswood Vineyard (80%) with the balance coming from the usual Piccadilly and Lobethal growers that have previously contributed to this wine. The style of the fruit from the Lenswood site is more open and generous, providing a beautiful contrast to the linear and tight nature of the Piccadilly and Lobethal material. Its fruit is from own-rooted I10v1 clone vines planted in 1989 and Bernard 76 and 95 clones planted in the early 2000s. The Lobethal site is close to 500m of elevation and has soils that are loaded with ironstone, contributing fruit with a classic flinty expression and powerful drive. The Piccadilly soils are varied, with sandstone, sandy loam and ironstone. The fruit was hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed into French puncheons, barriques and some Stockinger vessels for fermentation (about 40% new wood this year). The wine went through full malo and had some light lees stirring over eight months maturation.

Striking aromas of lemon, peach, and oatmeal. On the palate are stone fruits and lemon. The prominent acid supports these fruit characters and the oak provides a richness that complements the fruit. An overall great balance. STYLEClassic Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, with elegance and structure.

The Tomfoolery High Cotton Pinot Noir 2022 from Adelaide Hills is a true showcase of the region's exceptional terroir. Crafted by the renowned Tomfoolery winery located in South Australia, this vintage boasts a rich ruby hue that entices the eye. Upon the first swirl, the nose is greeted with a bouquet of ripe black cherries, subtle hints of earthy spices, and a touch of floral notes. On the palate, this Pinot Noir is elegant and well-balanced, with velvety tannins and a smooth, medium-bodied texture. Flavors of juicy red fruits, such as raspberries and cranberries, dance on the tongue, followed by a touch of oak and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a true representation of the Adelaide Hills, with its cool climate and diverse soils, beautifully captured in every sip. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to enhance its complexity.
