Bream Creek Chardonnay 2007



NOTES

Overlooking the breathtaking seascape of Marion Bay and Maria Island in South Eastern Tasmania, Bream Creek is one of the first commercial vineyards planted in Tasmania. The original consortium in 1973 planted 5 hectare of vines consisting mainly of Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.

 

Marion Bay is steeped with history. The vineyard overlooks where Abel Tasman first landed in 1642, raised the Dutch flag and went ashore to also collect water. Later in 1772 French Navigator Marion du Fresne anchored his ships Mascarin and Castries in what is now known as Marion Bay.

 

TASTING NOTES

Bright pale straw in colour with an exotic nose of white nectarine, peach and subtle citrus. The palate displays a tight structure, spicy tropical fruit, freshly baked bread with a long, firm and refreshing finish.
