[SOLD-OUT] Nocturne Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

 

"The fruit as always is from a single site, the Tassel Park Vineyard in the Treeton sub-region of Margaret River. This tiny 0.37 Ha vineyard is unusual in that it's interplanted with both the classic WA Gin Gin clone and the Burgundian 277 clone. The Gin Gin affords great fruit weight and texture while the 277 has great acidity and mineral line. The vineyard faces south and is planted on deep silver-grey sands. The picking date is generally very late but this year was an exception due to the exceptionally low crops and the fruit was picked in the middle of the Chardonnay harvest.

It's a unique and spectacular site this one, making unique and spectacular white wines. We love this wine for all its flint, funk and Sea breeze dreams whilst being quite powerful and structured. Chewy and juicy with characters of grilled limes and hopes and dreams this is a chardonnay for people that have imagination and a perchance for being epic." - Nocturne

 

"Bit of sulphur, cashew, spice, lime and apple. Juicy but tight, a sour pineapple, not exactly a rich style, but does have flavour. A little gloss, some flinty grip, with good length and tang to close. Modern style." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front
