"The dominant geology in Tasmanian vineyards is dolerite, but Derwent Estate has a rare and prized slice of limestone soil, a fossilised seabed, which explains the name of this reserve-level wine. See this week’s New & Noteworthy on Derwent Estate for more info.
Light yellow colour, light for its age, with an immediately gorgeous bouquet of complexity and finesse. It’s youthful, understated yet super-intense and focused. A wine of great fruit purity, with outstanding line and length. An outstanding chardonnay that will be long lived." 98 Points, Huon Hooke, Real Review
Derwent Estate, planted on the historic Mt Nassau property just north of Hobart, has been in the same family since 1913. With three generations involved in the family business today, this genuine cool climate site on north-facing, Calcareous soil slopes has gained a reputation for consistent, outstanding quality fruit, most notably Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. They approach the vineyard with a gentle management philosophy; and a purpose-built winery completed in 2013 made with straw bales cleverly retains the ideal natural ground temperature for the production and maturation of the wines.
