Tasting Notes
We've been watching this vineyard for the last few years and have always been convinced that amazing wine was going to come from this place.
"A site that seems to throw off saline mineral character in the wine, typically, explains winemaker Pat Sullivan, and the water from the site has low salt content. Broken basalt, deeper soils, bottom of valley in Warrigal, Gippsland.
The Baw Baw Chardonnay comes from the youngest plantings - 25 years old - that we farm on the Bullswamp Vineyard. This section of the vineyard faces south, with moderate airflow and exposure, producing fruit driven wine with depth and minerality.
The nose is mineral with brioche and lemon zest. The palate is mineral with melon, sherbert, lemon zest and brioche
