97 Points & 5 Stars Huon Hooke

The Sub Regional Series represents the very best varietal wines under the Flametree label, these wines will only be made in the best vintages, volumes will be small and availability very limited.

After overnight cold storage the fruit was whole bunch pressed into French oak puncheons before undergoing full wild yeast fermentation. To achieve a portion with high grape solids we rotated the press after filling. The key to successful wild fermentation is the use of high turbidity juices, minimal sulphur dioxide, low alcohols and juices with good nutrient content. The SRS Chardonnay was barrel fermented in 40% new French puncheons and then aged for 9 months.

The 2020 SRS Chardonnay shows lovely lifted fruit together with some delicate savoury notes from solids and wild ferment. Grapefruit, white peach and dried pear give way to barrel ferment and funky match stick complexities. Fine fruit flavours in line with a cooler vintage, wild barrel ferment and subtle sulphides contribute a delicious savoury oyster shell/saline character on the palate, giving the wine greater complexity and overall purity.

“Light, bright yellow colour, with an oaky, nutty, toasty, nougat-tinged bouquet, the palate more restrained than anticipated, taut and refined, tense and long, with an impressively linear profile. Subtle grapefruit touches. Great intensity that builds on the palate. Vibrant acidity helps drive a lingering finish. A wonderful young chardonnay that will fill out and offer even more if kept a little longer.” – 97 Points & 5 Stars Huon Hooke
