100% chardonnay from a single vineyard in Pipers River. Fermented in four 8-20yo barrels, full mlf and aged 5.5 years on lees; 4.1g/L dosage. Pipers River chardonnay has a personality all of its own, contrasting the tension of cold winds whipping across from Bass Strait, with a generosity of fruit and body. Natalie Fryar plays the creamy texture of barrel fermentation and lees age to seamlessly marry the two. Pineapple, fig and grapefruit meet the subtle beginnings of brioche and vanilla nougat. There's an inherent phenolic grip to this season, well embraced here by silky texture on a lingering finish. TYSON STELZER, James Halliday
