Mercer Limited Release Chardonnay 2022

Mercer Limited Release Chardonnay 2022

$50.00

From one of the country’s great Chardonnay vineyards, much of the fruit going towards Penfolds Yattarna. High toned aromatics of lemon and lime, zest, citrus marmalade, star jasmine, wood spice and cream. Shaped like an inverted pyramid. The attack is razor sharp, on point and then it fans out with sumptuous flesh, texture and extract. Bracing acidity, a defining feature of Tumbarumba is celebrated here, yet there is the weight and heft to carry this through. Very impressive wine, and different from anywhere else in Australia, save perhaps similarities with Macedon. Tumbarumba has a big future in Australian wine. Waters Wine Co

Producer Profile

It is every Hunter Valley wine lover’s labour and curse to preach of its glories and delights. Whenever I happen to write of the Hunter Valley, I find it impossible not to mention the indifference of most Australian wine drinkers. Ah well, let’s keep on keeping on. Aaron Mercer has been a fixture in the Hunter Valley for twenty years, making wines with Tyrrell’s, Tamburlaine, Brokenwood and a great many small producers as a contract winemaker. He’s also in partnership with wine wholesaler Andrew Jamieson and Ned Goodwin MW with their label, Maker Master Merchant – one of the best value range of wines in Australia.

The Mercer fruit is sourced from the Central Ranges, Orange, Tumbarumba, Hilltops and most importantly the Hunter Valley. His entry level varietal range is deliciously fresh, vibrant, tangy and fruit driven, not to mention its status as a bargain. The Limited Release range is small batch, from some of the very best vineyards in NSW. These are regionally defining wines; rich, sumptuous and sensual.
