Winemaker Notes

This Giants Creek Chardonnay shows a bright straw colour and an aroma displaying the spicy, fresh lift of scented, apricot-like varietal fruit, almost floral in its lifted nature. This is backed by the toasty aroma of well-integrated high quality oak. The palate shows an appealing softness of fresh apricot, balanced against a crisp, natural acidity which gives added depth and complexity. The flavours are sustained and develop further over a long finish, making this wine an ideal partner to a wide range of high quality foods and dishes.

Giants Creek Chardonnay is a beautiful example of the versatility of the Chardonnay grape variety, and is a distinctive wine, which reflects both the vineyard's character and the winemaker's skill.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Hunter Valley Wine

New South Wales, Australia

Most admired for citrus-driven, mineral-rich and often age-worthy Semillon wines, Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions and was home to its very first commercial vineyards. The region’s warm summer nights coupled with autumn cloud cover and cool sea breezes allow full ripening and healthy acidity levels for Semillon; its diverse soils of volcanic basalt and white alluvial sands promote the development of Semillon’s delicate aromas. Hunter Valley Semillons can certainly be enjoyed in their youth but with 10 to 20 years in the cellar, the best examples develop intriguing notes of honey, browned butter and roasted nuts.

Chardonnay and Shiraz also do well in Hunter Valley.
