Hillsview Vineyards WINEMAKERS SELECTION Chardonnay Verdelho McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: Brett Howard, winemaker at Blewitt Springs, grew up on his parents' vineyard at McLaren Vale and has the wine industry in his blood. Before starting his own company he gathered experience in both large, established wine companies and smaller, specialist boutique wineries. He uses this experience to good effect at Blewitt Springs where he aims to offer quality and value, producing wines of richness, intensity and longevity. Fruit is sourced from the Blewitt Springs area of the McLaren Vale, its higher altitude, deep draining sandy soil and cooler micro-climate giving intense flavours and good structure. Langhorne Creek and Adelaide Plains fruit is also used giving wines with a natural softness and generous, full body. Once in the winery small French oak barrels are used to mature the Blewitt Springs reds while whites may go through malolactic fermentation for added complexity and longevity. Around 11,000 cases are produced per year. Brett's careful and informed winemaking ensures that the natural balance, structure and flavour of the fruit are always kept firmly in focus. This has produced a lovely yellow coloured wine dominated by ripe tropical fruit flavours, while subtle oak and a creamy texture are balanced by acidity leading to a lingering finish. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £88.14
