Thank you for the kind words! Small Island Saltwater River Chardonnay 2024, Tasmania, AUD $45

Small Island is a tiny wine label that’s turned heads since it began. Tasmanian native, James Broinowski, has gone south of Hobart to source fruit for this chardonnay. It hums with purity, a trademark of great Tassie wines.

There’s a lovely purity to the fruit on the nose that excites: raw honey, freshly picked white nectarines, fresh ginger and almonds. The core is brimming with stone-fruits and sweet spice, while a spine of acidity enlivens the flavours with great energy.

This is an engaging chardonnay, it tastes like it’s giving an X-ray-like vision to where it’s grown. And that’s a great thing. (Screwcap)

Score: 95 ★★★★★

“Blossom is a nice name for a Riesling. And maybe a Hamster” probably the best line in a review ever. Thank you! Hahah

We’ve been crafting something truly “A Bit Special”!
Introducing our “A Bit Special” range - and these wines certainly are.
They are only made in exceptional years, from a single site, from a single barrel. They are not about being more, they are about being different, good different
