Personalised Swinging Bridge Hill Park Block 7 Chardonnay 2021 12.8% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

RANGE NOTES

From our Block 7 Hill Park Vineyard. One of the last sites to ripen in Orange with East-West running vine rows. The block is on a south facing slope and has three different soil types within the block. These are managed separately so as to get the best out of each area and to make sure they are all balanced. These come from V1 clone of Chardonnay.

EXPERT REVIEWS

Jeni Port

95 Pointsout of 100.

A wine that takes on the reserve title and means it. In fact, it also takes on the company’s title of white flagship wine, so it carries a lot on its vinous shoulders and, importantly, it delivers. This is a super fine expression of Chardonnay built around a purity of bristling cool climate acidity. Fruit is pristine in delicate aromas of lemon, nectarine, white peach and almond. As a very youthful four-year-old – hard to believe! – it’s quiet, concentrated and releases its considerable charms slowly.  It would not like over-chilling. Good line and length is assured thanks to cool climate acidity and fruit is slowly coaxed, building in between layers of almond meal, nougat and grilled cashews. It’s still very much early days for this little beauty.
