Given another 12 months on lees since tasted by Ned Goodwin, and seems every bit as fresh as it was when he wrote: 'This expansive, rich wine has spent an extended 5 years on lees which for me, considering the acid levels, pH and fruit ripeness even in cooler Australian zones, seems just about the maximum level of ambition. A fully loaded nose oozes toasted nuts, marzipan, spiced quince and tarte tatin flavours across a creamy, broad-shouldered core of nourishment. This stains the cheeks and swoons the nose.
The Beltana is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes selected from the cool south-facing slopes high in the Adelaide Hills.
Aromas of green apple preceed the preserved lemon and clean minerality on the palate with our signature crisp, mouth-watering finish. A persistent fine bead and creamy mousse gives extra lift to these delicious aromas and flavours. Green apple - baked lemon curd tart - crisp + mouth-watering finish.
