Petaluma Tiers Chardonnay 1998
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vineyard: Petaluma
Region: Other Australia, Australia
After nearly twenty years of growing Chardonnay in the Piccadilly Valley, the Tiers Vineyard has differentiated itself from the other five distinguished sited for Chardonnay in the valley. The 1997 Tiers Chardonnay has inherited a resilience and mineral texture and breeding which will allow the complexity to develop with a finesse achieved by only a few of the worlds greatest Chardonnays.
Ripe, white peach, with mineral scents and the clove cinnamon spice of the Vosges oak are combining to show some of the promised complexity. The texture of the 1997 Petaluma Tiers Chardonnay is exceptional, being viscous but at the same time having a dry mineral texture and long and complex flavours.
