Description
Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard “1.5M” Chardonnay 2023 from the Adelaide Hills SA
Brian Croser is without doubt or peer the Godfather of the modern era of winemaking in Australia. Founder of Petaluma, Croser planted the Tiers vineyard in 1979 in the Piccadilly Valley (the Adelaide Hills’ highest sub-region), with the quickly fulfilled ambition that it become the jewel in the crown of Australian Chardonnay. It is a status that may be rivalled by a few but it is outshone by none. This is a wine of delectable fruit expression, enhanced by the hand of the winemaker and destined to shine brightly around the world as one of Australia’s true lighthouse wines of the modern era. Best drunk in the first 5 years of its life in my opinion but can keep for much longer too.
