Nose
Salty, sea-sprayed fruit contributes to a unique and complex oyster shell character which immediately grabs your attention, closely followed by a hint of gun flint. An underbelly of savouriness is complemented by citrus, peach fuzz and a hint of pink grapefruit.
Palate
Incredible power of fruit. Textured and mouthwatering, there is obvious chemistry between the fruit and the oak. Flavours of crushed lime, grapefruit and sea salt. Lively mineral acidity and layered texture. Pure, powerful and unparalleled Chardonnay.
Winemaking
2020, our fourth Suckfizzle Chardonnay vintage. Only 700 vines of Gin Gin clone were planted in 1998.
With a load of character and flavour this incredible fruit was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and wild fermented on full solids in French oak barriques for 10 months with minimal battonage. Unfined and unfiltered to show the raw power of this vineyard.
