The full ripening of a small crop in perfect cool, dry and sunny conditions, has again defined a very special Chardonnay, predominately from Pat and Ted’s Vineyard on Mount Bonython and two other vineyards in the distinguished Piccadilly Valley terroir. The 2024 Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay has a mesmerising green-yellow colour. The terroir distinctive apple, nectarine and floral aromas also have a hint of exotic fig and spice. The flavours are intense, the texture significant and the cool year acid is apparent in a cleansing finish.
The aroma is very fresh and ripe fruit-flavoured. The flavours are of sweet fruit balanced against the significant cool year acid and grapefruit finish. This is a very special wine, the product of another cool vintage.
