Introduction:
The 2022 Devil’s Corner Tasmania Chardonnay is a fresh, vibrant, and elegantly structured cool-climate Chardonnay that highlights the pristine terroir of Tasmania. With its bright acidity, refined fruit profile, and subtle oak influence, this wine is a beautifully balanced expression of Australian Chardonnay.
Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards in Tasmania’s cool maritime climate, where the combination of ocean breezes, long growing seasons, and well-drained soils enhances the wine’s natural acidity and complexity. The region’s unique terroir allows for the slow ripening of Chardonnay, resulting in a wine with both freshness and depth.
Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with bright green hues, showcasing vibrancy and youth.
Nose:
Aromatic and expressive, with notes of crisp green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, complemented by hints of flinty minerality, toasted almond, and a subtle touch of vanilla from oak aging.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a refreshing, well-balanced mouthfeel. Bright citrus and stone fruit flavors are layered with delicate creaminess from lees aging. The wine’s crisp acidity and subtle oak integration create a harmonious blend of freshness and texture.
Finish:
Long and clean, with lingering citrus, minerality, and a refined touch of spice.
Overall Impression:
A beautifully crafted cool-climate Chardonnay that balances fruit purity, minerality, and subtle oak influence. Ideal for pairing with seafood, roasted chicken, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses. Best enjoyed in its youth but has the structure to develop further complexity over the next few years.
