Meadowbank’s 30-year-old Chardonnay vines are rooted in the Derwent Valley's loose sand and sandstone, which overlays dark brown, coffee rock, rich in iron oxides. It's what our gum-booted winegrower friends might call “quality dirt”. The 2019 was hand-picked and whole-cluster pressed directly to eight French barriques (only one was new). The wine underwent partial malo and spent the following nine months in barrel on lees. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Reviews

"Bright, intense, all the ripe lemon/lime and green apple with a little spice and flinty/smoky character. Moves nutty, saline, fleshy and more savoury in the flavour department as it crackles through the mouth, finishing long and tight. Mouth-watering, to use that old chestnut, with a Riesling like whip-crack, but Chardonnay character aplenty too. Excellent."
95 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
