Pooley Butchers Hill Chardonnay 2024
Butchers Hill Vineyard is a prominent feature of the Richmond landscape as it protrudes from its borders. This site’s steep north-facing slope means that it receives some very long sunlight hours, protection from cold southern winds, and increased soil drainage. The iron oxide deposits in our soils allows for heat and water to be held longer as they are darker and more clay based. These soil attributes also interact with the production of flavonoids in the fruit which typically produces complex robust wines.
2023 Halliday Winemaker of the Year.
Fruit was handpicked. Whole bunch pressed to tank, settled for 24 hours then racked to barrel for ferment, 40% new French Oak (Sirugue) for 11 months, 50% MLF.
"Pink grapefruit, lemon oil, aniseed, cashew and cedar, a chamomile perfume and white peach. It’s gently chalky in texture, a little nutty and umami, biscuit spice oak, balanced acidity, with some grilled nuts and a saline finish of excellent length. Lovely wine. Fine and distinctive. Yum. Touch and go for 96 points really."
95 Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
