Description
The ’11 Long Road Chardonnay sources fruit from vineyards in two Tumbarumba subregions Courabyra and Maragle. The Maragle fruit is grown at 405mt above sea level and provides texture and intensity whilst the fruit from Courabyra (730 meters above sea level) gives the wines it ™s firm backbone. freshness and drive. It is a bracingly. steely and racy style (quiet chablis esque) and is incredible value.
Awarded 96 pts from Halliday and came equal third in the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge 2012. A remarkable effort at $20 odd a bottle considering the winning wine sells for above $120!
“Beautiful example of a lean Australian chardonnay. Long and direct. beautifully textural through the mid palate but then dry and slatey through the finish. Variety of textures if not so much variety of flavours. Lemon curd. green melon. woodspice. apples. Needs at least another 12 months in bottle but it looks the goods. ” 92+ Points. Cambell Mattinson
