2015 Wines of the Year – 2013 Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay

Author: Tyson Stelzer

The greatness of Tiers shines, even in vines just 10 years of age. I love its lemon blossom fragrance, white peach concentration, tense magic acidity and seamless French oak, but most of all I love its fine, mineral, flinty texture.

Date: Oct 2014

While some of the 2013 Adelaide Hills whites look just a little forward and flat, this Chardonnay seriously shines.

Date: Oct 2014

Brian Croser’s 2013 chardonnay delivers the rich, ripe, peachy varietal flavours of the warm vintage. Although Croser fermented then matured the wine for 10 months in oak barrels (30 per cent of them new), Tapanappa stands apart from many contemporary

Date: Jul 2014

The strictly disciplined winemaking credo of Brian Croser has worked very well indeed with this wine; the intensity of the varietal fruit expression has been perfectly captured, with no winemaker artefact anywhere on the horizon. With the benefit of screwcap,
