Dalrymple: Cave Block Chardonnay

Cave Block Chardonnay

• Varieties: Chardonnay
• Type: White
• Region: Piper River, Tasmania, Australia
• Alcohol Level: 13.5%

Wine Description:

A patchwork of biodiversity surrounds the vineyard home to this expressive Chardonnay. It screams personality, structure, and incredible length and depth, largely thanks to the proximity to Bass Strait’s cooling sea breezes and resulting long ripening period. This a curvaceous wine, full of cheeky minerality. Don’t like Chardonnay? Think again. There’s beauty in restraint here … not a hint of over-the-top fruitiness to be found.

Tasting Note:

Initial aromas of spice, lemon curd and grapefruit opens to stone fruits with a hint of peach yogurt. The palate is defined with brilliant, fine acidity, the texture of sun-kissed quartz and crushed oyster shell. Flavours of pear fill the mid-palate, with a seam of citrus keeping focus on the long, salivating finish.
