2016 Tamburlaine Single Vineyard Block 15 Chardonnay

Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
All grapes in this wine are organically grown & certified.

Region: Orange Wine Region
The high altitude, cool climate and volcanic red soils in our Orange vineyards are ideal for growing premium quality grapes.

A barrel fermented Chardonnay from Tamburlaine's organic vineyards in Orange, NSW, the Point 65 label is named after the fact that for every 100m of elevation, the air temperature drops by 0.65. 

An inviting drink that is not weighed down by oak, barbecued peach, white fleshed stonefruit and grapefruit aromas kick things off. A textural presence heightens the interest factor with cashews, figs, and slight lick of custard powder adding to the detail with a fine veil of creaminess. The suggestion of limoncello with some lemon zest cut in on close and cap off a very tidy wine.

Drink to five years.
