Wirra Wirra Vineyards The 12th Man Chardonnay 2024
🏆 Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards!
Amazing Value for Money, Now Under $30!
Straw yellow colour. Lemon tart, nectarine with a hint of flintiness and cedar oak with a thread of wax and saline. A lovely balance of fruit purity and textural winemaking with grapefruit, stone fruits and lemon curd. The palate has wonderful tension with creamy, chalky texture and mineral acidity.
Fruit from Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley and Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills was whole bunch pressed directly to French oak for wild fermentation. Matured in barrel for nine months with lees stirring to build complexity, this is a layered Chardonnay with lovely fruit purity. It is named after Greg Trott who resurrected Wirra Wirra from ruin in 1969 and was a cricket fanatic. Trott never fulfilled his dream of wearing a baggy green, but he would have made the ultimate 12th Man at any cricket ground if the drinks tray contained a crisp glass of this Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
