Tasting Notes
100% Chardonnay sourced fro the eastern side of a single vineyard in Tingha planted in terra rossa profunda soil 950m above sea level. Hand picked, crushed and basket pressed into barrel on solids. Slow wild ferment in barrel with indiginous yeast follwed by full malolactic ferment.Left on lees for 3 months with weekly batonage. Racked once before bottling unfined. Tightly wound with savoury aromas of brioche and lashing of texture.
Jared Dixon is a guy you want to keep your eye on. He's producing the most interesting wines in New South Wales right now. Jared's wines go under the label of Jilly where he sources fruit from the district around Armidale known as New England. Nebbiolo is his thing, but don't for a second pass on the opportunity to try his other wines - they're exciting, always intersting and so drinkable by anyone's standards.
