A wine that expresses exquisite attention to detail. Fruit from Piccadilly and Lobethal, fermented and aged in Oak, with 8 months of lees contact for a savoury complexity.
Turon has finally hit is stride with this relase - this wine reaches so far beyond typical Hills Pinot quality, it's not funny - off his own estate fruit, close plantings and insane clones. We see greatness happening with this brand into the future!
Sidewood are a clear example of right site, right approach and an uncompromising vision of greatness. From Chardonnay to Pinot and (especially) their Sparklings - all world class quality and remarkable value.
They say Chardonnay is a winemaker's grape - it's so forgiving & pliable - when in the hands of Mickey Downer - it's elevated again - he builds texture into his Chardonnay that other rarely do.
