Chardonnay May with TAPANAPPA

This year for Chardonnay May we would like to honour the small but significant 2023 Tapanappa Chardonnays by hosting a pair of Chardonnay focused events. 

The 2023 Vintage
 
All three of our cool climate, Piccadilly Valley 2023 Chardonnays are showing incredible high quality, concentrated full flavours and layers of complexity. Of the past four cold vintages, 2023 was the coolest. In Brian’s words:
 
 “Despite the lack of warmth, in 2023 the Tiers Vineyard has reflected its trademark viscosity and length of flavour on the palate, to go with the nectarine and grapefruit cool expression of Chardonnay aroma and flavour.”
 
The late ripening of a small crop in cool, dry and sunny conditions, has defined a “near perfect” expression of Chardonnay from the unique and distinguished Tiers and Tiers 1.5M Vineyard terroir as well as our Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay harvested from a single Vineyard owned by Brian’s late parents.

Our Distinguished Site Chardonnays…

Planted in 1979 by Brian Croser, the Tiers Vineyard is the birthplace of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
 
The cool and wet climate of the Piccadilly Valley suits Chardonnay perfectly, and the Tiers is in every way a Distinguished site, with its gentle slope to the north and east and being situated in a sheltered valley surrounded by forest, thus forming a true “clos” environment.
 
Planted with a unique Chardonnay clone – possibly related to some of the first introductions of Chardonnay to New South Wales in the early to mid 1800’s – this vineyard is now over 40-years-old, and with this great age, as expected, the vines are slowly devigorating and the grape quality ever increasing.
 
Next door to the Tiers, is our Tiers 1.5M Vineyard, which was planted 20 over years ago, giving us a Chardonnay that stands alongside its older sibling as an equal, but with the subtle differences induced by its close spaced, French clone, earlier ripening habit. 

Don't miss out on the next vintage of Tapanappa Chardonnays again!
