Sleek, energetic and refreshing cool-climate white from southern Tasmania
Pale straw in the glass with aromas of citrus, grapefruit and white peach along with hints of soft spice, vanillin, white flowers, nougat, cashewy oak and crushed stone. Crisp and refreshing on the palate with a brisk mineral cadence and a flair of roast hazelnuts. This makes for sleek, energetic drinking for those that seek a focused style of chardonnay with plenty of drive. Drink to 2032.

The Frogmore Creek vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley was established in the mid-1990s by the Scherer family. It has been part of the Hill-Smith family’s portfolio of vineyards and brands since December 2012 and has since expanded to include two other nearby sites. Chief winemaker Alain Rousseau has led the work at the winery for more than 20 years.
