CHARDONNAY
Tonic
Chardonnay 2018
Region: Adelaide Hills, SA
Variety: Chardonnay
Notes: GB AKA Glen Barry does enjoy a chardonnay or two,
definitely a Crows fan for sure. We have been fortunate enough
to get some re-release of one of the better Adelaide Hills
Chardonnays of last year. The fruit comes off Bow Lees vineyard
in Woodside, and GB takes a very hands-off approach. It is picked,
chilled overnight, foot-stomped, basket-pressed into old oak
for fermentation. Left on lees for 9 months with no stirring, but
regular topping until bottling.

Tarrawarra Estate
Chardonnay 2017
Region: Yarra Valley, VIC
Variety: Chardonnay
Notes: The wine is a blend of seven blocks located across the
TarraWarra property. The wine has grapefruit and lemon zest
aromas with underlying notes of cashew nuts. The tight palate
reflects the season, with texture derived from 10 months on lees
and a lovely drive with persistence of flavour. With oak and tank
maturation, the wine shows an elegant complexity with appealing
freshness.
