Description
The wine
Stargazer is the Tasmanian label of winemaker Samantha Connew, who settled in the Coal River Valley after vintages in Oregon, Sicily and across Australia. The Chardonnay comes mainly from her own Palisander vineyard, a south-facing plot planted in 2017 on dolerite, with fruit from growers in Richmond and Penna. Hand-picked bunches are pressed whole, straight into Mercurey French oak puncheons, 23% new. It is wild fermented, goes through full malolactic fermentation and spends 10 months in barrel without stirring.
Tasting notes
Light straw with green edges. The nose is floral, with tea tree, manuka and a hint of sage flower. On the palate, fresh lemon zest and yellow nectarine meet well-integrated oak, which adds notes of nougat and hazelnut skin.
How to enjoy
Serve at 10–12°C. Pair it with Tasmanian Bruny Island Raw C2 or Marcel Petite Comté AOP 24 months, or with roast chicken.
