Briar Ridge
Ampelus Chardonnay 750mL

N/A
Limit of 60 per cart

Product Details

Complex aromatic profile of cap gun, hazelnut, nougat and lime custard. On the palate the wine displays generous regional fruit of ripe orchard pears and white peach surrounded by creme brulee, baking spice and savoury smoke. This wine is concentrated and rich with fresh acidity and light phenolic spice providing all the components to enable medium to long term cellaring.

Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed followed by sequential fill to a single French second fill oak cask for 18 months. Left unsulphured until bottling. Bottled without finings or filtration. The art is in simplicity here.

Our Single Vineyard Chardonnay block is grown on well-drained sandy loam soils located in the heart of Hunter Valley wine country, NSW. It is a south facing slope. The crop yields are relatively low, producing excellent concentration of fruit flavour.

14/2/2024Light yellow colour with a first impression of oak—very stylish oak, with grilled-nut, honey and nougat aromas. The wine is intense and quite reserved but already showing powerful flavour and a spicy, bitter Italian herb overtone. A very engaging wine. The spicy finish rumbles long through the extended aftertaste. A smashing chardonnay of superior concentration. (A single barrel from the Briar Hill vineyard)

*Wine Rank: #4 of 51 - 2022 Chardonnay from Hunter
