Recognised by its distinctive 'red dot' packaging, the Penny's Hill range is made by winemaker Ben Riggs. He who uses only estate-grown fruit from the company's McLaren Vale vineyards - Penny's Hill, Goss Corner and Malpas Road - which are managed by local viticulturist, David Paxton. Penny's Hill is housed at 'Ingleburne' which was originally owned by Thomas Overton who farmed the land and established a Dernier school on the property in 1848. 'Ingleburne' remained in the hands of the Goss and Rowland families until it was bought in 1998 by Susie and Tony Parkinson, the present owners, as the new base for their Penny's Hill label. Planted in 1993, the Penny's Hill Chardonnay block is somewhat unconventional in its set up. Narrow planted vines on shallow and relatively infertile soils which have low water retaining properties allows for the use of very precise vineyard management tactics. A portion of the 7 ha (17 acre) Chardonnay plantings is handpicked and the entire crop is netted prior to vintage to save precious fruit from thirsty birds. This is a wine which reflects the values of precise canopy management from low yielding, hand-pruned vines. This has contributed to high quality, full bodied and flavoursome Chardonnay wine grapes. Winemaker Ben Riggs guided the Chardonnay through fermentation in stainless steel (70%) and the balance in excellent French oak (40% in new and one year old French barriques) with a further 8 months maturation in both stainless steel and French oak. This Chardonnay shows gentle flavours of tropical fruits and ripe peaches, carefully underlain with toasty oak. This is a well-balanced wine, with a fine, juicy middle palate and a long finish.
