Medium straw with a green hue in appearance. Bright aromatics of white nectarine, citrus and orange blossom accompanied by notes of dried thyme, roasted hazelnuts and touch of flint present on the nose. A juicy yet refined palate supported by vibrant acidity and flavours of lemon curd and stone fruits. The lively acid line is framed by silk and structured with a sprinkling of charred oak.
The Bay of Fires wines were born of a desire to showcase the best possible cool climate varietal wines Tasmania can offer, combining fruit intensity, refinement and persistence of flavour. The 2022 Chardonnay represents the continued evolution of this wine as we explore and develop vineyard resources. Our philosophy is to nurture elegance and develop ripe flavour profiles. The 2022 vintage began with a long, wet winter and was followed by a cool spring leading to slow ripening and resulting in small yields. The Derwent and Coal River Valleys both experienced relatively cool and slow ripening seasons, producing excellent quality fruit that arrived very late in the season. Whilst table Chardonnay yields are very low, the quality is excellent.

"Light straw in the glass with aromas of nectarine, peach, citrus and yellow plum cut with hints of soft spice, clotted cream, mountain herbs, pressed flowers, grilled nuts and softly spoken French oak. Quite concentrated on the palate with yellow fruits flowing in, a little more oak showing through with dots of clotted cream. Finishes long and rich."
