2024 The Rift Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

Named The Rift after a valley, in this case the Piccadilly Valley.

Adelaide Hills Chardonnay needs no introduction, we think it's what the Adelaide Hills does best. This vintage could be our best yet, it's a slightly riper expression for us and has 15% new oak used in the final blend.

Tasting Note

This wine smells and tastes of preserved lemon, yellow peach and citrus. It's spicy and has a savoury complexity. The wine has a beautiful juicy/round mouthfeel with fresh acid keeping everything vibrant and delicious.
