Toolangi Pauls Lane Chardonnay
Spicy, faintly floral aromas of stone fruit, grapefruit, lime juice and coriander are backed by matchstick-like oak and a hint of mineral. It's round and creamy, smooth and voluptuous, with a gentle, mouthfilling core of flavour and nougat-like complexity finishing with a hint of butter, gentle lemony acids and a faint smokiness. Crushed and pressed with full solids straight to oak (20% new), both primary fermentation and malolactic were natural. Elevage: 8 months on lees in oak before being racked and filtered in preparation for bottling. Hand-picked on 12th March 2018 First established in 1995, Toolangi Vineyards is located in the Yarra Valley adjoining the Toolangi State Forest. This Chardonnay is grown on fine clay loam and produces grapes which represent the unique site. Low cropped and hand harvested from 23 year old vines of I1OV3 clone grapes on D Block rows 35 55. The 2018 harvest will be remembered fondly by winemakers in the Yarra Valley. It was a rare season that gave above average yields and excellent quality fruit. Dry sunny conditions with cool overnight temperatures provided good natural acidity and concentrated wines at lower alcohol levels.
Coombe Yarra Valley Tribute 'Lady Pamela' Chardonnay
Glen Garvald Marsanne Late Harvest
This single-vineyard single-block dessert wine represents an exploration into hybridising the dessert wine styles based on vins de paille (straw wines) from Hermitage and the Cote de Jura and Vendange Tardive (Late Harvest) styles from Alsace in France. Grapes were left to linger and intensify on the vine to achieve high sugar levels and honeyed complexity. The wine walks a measured fine line between tension, generosity, and medium-sweet weight. It featured aromas of ginger snap, cardamon, cumquat, crème anglaise, fresh quince, pink peppercorn, and beeswax. The palate is defined, with a fine line of toast and mid-level sweetness. It travels down the palate with length, assisted by moreish tactile phenolics. It featured Seville orange, white chocolate, crème caramel and Campari flavours, with a very long finish and resonance of flavour. This wine is suitable for vegans.
