Description

Off the back of the award winning 2018 vintage, Derwent’s 2019 release of Calcaire, a vineyard grown on a 250 million year old seabed, promises to live up to the vintage hype. Year on year this wine takes out Top Gold and the Trophy for best chardonnay at the Tasmanian Wine Show. With a portion of the fruit each year sent off to Penfolds for inclusion in Yattarna, this bottling presents one of the best value and most impressive releases from the apple isle.

*WINNER* - Best Chardonnay, Tasmanian Wine Show

*WINNER* - 96/100, Best of Region, James Halliday Australian Chardonnay Challenge

“Pure delicate fruits supported by subtle oak. Fine acid line, leaving a creamy mouthfeel.

Grown on a north -facing bank of the Derwent River this 28-year-old cool-climate vineyard is widely recognized for producing some of the best chardonnay fruit in Australia including supplying the famous Penfolds Yattarna 13 years in a row. The soils are permeable loams over limestone imparting intensity and aromatic delicacy to the fruit.” - Winery Notes
