Lerida Estate Lake George Chardonnay
The cool climate of the ACTs Canberra District is the perfect place to grow and produce quality Chardonnay and Lerida Estate Lake George Chardonnay is a fine example. Picked early to maintain its distinctive freshness and elegance, this delicious white has a vibrant aroma of quince, nectarine and orange zest with a hint of cashew. The palate demonstrates tangy white stone fruit and grapefruit characters with a subtle mineral undertone that adds complexity. 100% barrel fermented and matured for 11 months with regular lees stirring in French oak, this is a classic, definitive Chardonnay.
Howard Park Flint Rock Chardonnay
Howard Parks Jeff Burch says, The clean, precise flavours in this wine are still very expressive when you chill it down, and the subtle influence of older French oak barrels brings complexity and length without any heaviness. Opening with a subtle nose of green apple, grapefruit, bread dough and light toasty oak, it has an incredibly fine and savoury palate with enduring length and persistence. Characterised by apple, citrus, leesy depth and light vanillin oak, it has lovely long, racy and pure acidity that drives excellent line and length.View Recipe Match
Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Chardonnay
Fresh & generous, when picked on time there is a lovely sea spray character which carries you into perfectly ripe peach & lemon curd on the palate. Partial malo lactic fermentation, the acid is pure and lon Two sites (both mine) are relatively far apart - 3 Wishes (as above) and Domaine RB which is back near Launceston, kinda white hills - a low yielding, previously derelict vineyard. 3 Wishes was picked fairly early, in the effort to keep it crispy, then I let it roll through malo to take the edge off. All was left on lees, no sulphur over the winter, assembled and then left on fine lees for a bit longer. Completes the quartet of easily the best set of sub-regionals I've managed to squeeze out. Two Tonne Tasmania began in 2013, when a young local winemaker, nudged into the tightly held Tamar Valley by sourcing literally a couple of tonnes of Pinot Noir. This project is all about eking out small parcels of fruit, giving them lots of love, finding their true potential. Previously Winemaker at Bay of Fires, Ricky Evans' solo project is sourced from a diverse range of interesting & unique vineyards in the Tamar Valley and East Coast of Tasmania. Most of these are either leased and managed by himself, or he has a strong connection and involvement with. Two Tonne Tasmania was a Top 12 finalist in Young Gun of Wine in 2016, 2017 & 2018, and took home the peoples choice award in 2016.
