Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023 (3 x 750ml)

From four Dijon clones (95, 96, 76 & 277) in two sections of the vineyard over 2 hectares in 2010.

'In warmer regions you often get either breadth or precision but rarely both. We like to think our wines combine the two and never more so than in this Chardonnay. It has length, persistence and generosity combined with that saline character we see each year, all supported with some delicious new French oak.' 
Gilli Lipscombe, proprietor and vigneron

This is quintessential modern Australian Chardonnay.   White stonefruit and citrus with delicate notes of oatmeal and cashew.  Although the wine doesn't go through malolactic conversion, it is not overtly taut, wiry or lean - in fact this is a Chardonnay of real depth and volume that expresses place rather than winemaker input.  Some would call it 'Chablis-esque' but this is high quality, cool climate Tasmanian Chardonnay.
