100% Chardonnay from Pipers River
The 2010 Blanc de Blancs is a pale straw colour with a fine, persistent bead and mousse. It displays rich, toasty characters as well as classic lime and blossom. The palate is long, driven by natural acidity and balanced with dosage softness . The extended time on lees provides beautifully complex notes of fresh bread and brioche. This wine can certainly be enjoyed now but will reward greatly if left to develop over the next 8-10 years..
“Chardonnay was where it all began for Clover Hill, and there is a tension and definition to this grape that defines the estate’s longest-lived wines to this day. At six years of age, this cuvée upholds a bright, medium straw hue. There’s intensity of grapefruit, lemon butter and even the exuberance of star fruit, amidst the toast and burnt butter of bottle age. In creamy texture, mouth filling intensity and undeviating line and length, this is a grand release for Clover Hill, with plenty of energy still coiled into its folds.”
