A single vineyard Chardonnay from the Campania vineyard established in 1985.
A single vineyard Chardonnay from the Campania vineyard established in 1985. Hand picked. Whole bunch pressed. Cold settled for 1 day then racked to barrel. Wild fermentation. Mixture of barriques (225 litre) and puncheons (500 litre) which 40% is new. Matured for 9 months in oak. No Malolactic. Minimal stirring.
'Subtle aromas of cardamom and pepperberry spice. Lemon/Lime zest and apple blossom. Palate is fine and restrained. Mineral chalkiness texture, mandarin, flint, lemon curd and pink grapefruit. Lacey acid. Bold but understated.'
Anna Pooley winemaker July 2020
The bouquet is reserved and a trifle muted, with some grapefruit and herbal nuances, while the palate is crisp and tangy, high in acid and very tense. The lemony acid lingers long on the follow-through. It's nervy and almost painfully tart. Give it time or serve with seafood and a buttery sauce. It has potential yet to unfurl. This will overtake the Butcher's Hill in time. 20 MAR 2020 Drink 2022–2032
