Tapanappa Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2016
$39.00
A charming, flavoursome, and elegant chardonnay after eight years of age with a burnished yellow colour and a complex bouquet of grapefruit, melon, lemon and mineral backed by suggestions of ginger, popcorn and oyster shell. Beautifully weighted, long and evenly paced, still delivering purity of fruit together with its minerality and bottle-aged complexity, it’s extremely persistent and shapely, with an acidity and brittleness that remains fresh and focused. Quite remarkable for such a hot season.

Tapanappa
Tapanappa focuses on three specific South Australian terroirs. First of these is the Tiers vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley, which is owned by Brian Croser and also provides the fruit for Petaluma’s flagship Tiers Chardonnay. Second is the Whalebone Vineyard in the heart of what is now Wrattonbully in the state’s south-east, home to a steadily improving blend between Merlot and Cabernet Franc plus a rather old-fashioned Cabernet Shiraz. The third site is perhaps the most intriguing - a pinot noir vineyard called Foggy Hill planted between 300-350 metres in altitude on a northwest facing slope at the highest point of the Fleurieu Peninsula. While quality has not been consistent, there have been some quite remarkable pinots released to date from this moist unlikely of regions.
