Dr Edge Tasmania Chardonnay 2024

A blend of chardonnay from the Derwent and Tamar Valleys; hand-picked, direct press to 50/50 French oak barrique/clay amphora, wild ferment, nine months on lees. Gorgeous grapefruit and lemon lead, followed by hints of white peach, gentle spice, crushed stone, clotted cream, clover blossom, meal and lemon curd. Such a harmonious wine with a brilliant composition, dreamy fruit profile, a decent lick of umami and that wonderful stony Tasmanian acidity. What a ripper! 96 points – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion & Halliday Top 100

Medium lemon yellow, some lime glints in the light. Lime curd, oyster brine and sourdough starter aromatics. Primary and fresh with fine detailed apple and lime fruit, saline undertones, all bound by fine boned acidity and a supple phenolic grip. Great length, finishing with density and detail that demands a return. Not a blockbuster but no less appealing for its subtlety. 95 Points – Stuart Knox, The Real Review
