[SOLD-OUT] Bream Creek Reserve Chardonnay 2021

 “In the right hands, the gracefulness of Tasmania's cooler seasons is alluring indeed. A barrel selection of just 100 dozen, this is an altogether more toned, introverted and serious chardonnay than Bream Creek's estate chardonnay. To its great credit, it's less flippant and tropical, with a resolute focus on grapefruit tension and white peach flavour. A touch more new oak (not too much) builds structure and tone, while leaving the main act to impressive persistence of spicy white fruits. Best yet.” - Tyson Stelzer

 

“Very light yellow colour with mango, peach nectar and tropical flower aromas, the palate is deeply fruity, with a hint of sweetness balanced by fresh acidity. It's bright and intense, the finish long and drying, and promising to take some age well.” - Huon Hooke, Real Review

 

“There are very few wine producers in Tasmania as versatile - or reliable - as Bream Creek. From sparkling wines to rieslings, pinot noirs to Bordeaux blends, everything Bream Creek produce is impressive and sensibly priced - a testament to Fred Peacock's viticultural expertise and deft winemaking from Liam McElhinney. This new release hits a lot of high notes for lovers of serious cool-climate chardonnays: it is very varietal and with terrific structure, so this can either be enjoyed in its youth - perhaps with some pan-fried flathead - or cellared over the short to medium term.” - Windsor Dobbin

 

"This cool climate Chardonnay exhibits a complex nose of yellow peach flesh, yellow nectarine skin and white flowers. The palate is intense and textured, yellow stone fruit flavours supported by spicy French oak and balanced acidity. A wine of class, depth and persistence, it is enjoyable now, yet may also be confidently cellared." - Bream Creek
