Description
If you were wandering along a winding road with this wine and asked its name, it would whisper back, ‘What do you want it he fruit from this beautiful vineyard responds so satisfyingly to the variations of the vintages.
While last year’s The Fall came in voluptuous and fleshy – like a jazz singer in a dark, smoky lounge – this year’s is bright and savoury, hitting syncopated notes with an arrow-like structure. Still with a lick of graphite lick in the background, the main attraction is lemon-lime and yuzu flavours that fill the mid palate.
A pleasing reflection of the capacity of deep-rooted, well-loved Chardonnay vines to produce stunning wines despite a complicated season. 100% Carey Gully Chardonnay, handpicked, wild-yeast fermentation, whole bunch pressed to barrel, some bâtonnage, 10 months in 30% new French oak, unfiltered and unfined, 50 dozen made.
Cellar door price $70
