Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 17, 2015 - Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$35} Figs and yeast; grapefruit, peach; the riot of experience on the nose reflects the ‘everything’ approach which went into the making of this; mix of grapehandling, ferment, yeast, battonage, age and origin of oak; this has a bit of everything. Of all the multiple techniques used, it’s the slightly edgy character to the wine which betrays the wild yeast component of the ferment. The palate shows the full spectrum of warm climate chardonnay characters; overall the wine is medium-bodied, with sensible oak treatment, and a medium/long finish. I thought this very good indeed now and probably for the medium term.
