Thomas Block Chardonnay

Sourced from the Paxton’s ‘Thomas Block’, this is the seventh release of this single vineyard wine, displaying fruit freshness and structure and highlighting the suitability of this site for the production of super premium Chardonnay.

2011 was a cool season, with strong vine growth enforcing the importance of viticultural management. Rain events were regular in the lead up to picking; therefore the vineyards did not require irrigating. Fruit flavours were vibrant and structured resulting in fabulous wines across all varieties.
