Product Description

Overview

Winery: Thorn Clarke - Mount Crawford

Thorn Clarke Mount Crawford Chardonnay 2013 is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.

This Chardonnay is a fine example of Mount Crawford climate, soil and aspect combining to display great varietal characters. The light green color has a vibrancy that is characteristic of the wine. Peach and tropical fruit flavors are complemented by a creamy texture from lees contact and a small amount of exposure to French oak. This also gives the wine a rich, long but clean finish with delicious white peach, pear and citrus notes.


The winemaker recommends trying this wine with chicken teppanyaki.

 

Light, bright yellow. Zesty citrus- and orchard fruit-scented nose shows a suave floral overtone and a hint of peach pit. Sharply focused Meyer lemon and pear flavors are light-bodied but nicely concentrated, showing good nervy lift and focus. Finishes dry and tight, with very clarity and spicy persistence.

The Thorn Clarke Estate

The winery owners are David and Cheryl Clarke (born Thorn) and their son Sam is the manager of the winery. The Thorn-Clarke family has a long history in the Barossa - six generations of involvement in the region's world famous wine industry. The Thorns have been grape growers in the Barossa since the 1870's. David Clarke's passion for the wine industry lead to the planting of the Kabininge vineyard outside of Tanunda in 1987, which represents the start of a deeper involvement by the family in the Barossa wine industry.

The Thorn Clarke Vineyards

Eden Valley is one of Australia's oldest and most respected white wine regions, and within the Eden Valley the Mount Crawford block is recognized for its particularly cold climate. The cooler conditions of this sub-region, combined with nutrient-poor residual soils and a northern aspect, create an environment ideal for growing white grape varieties. Vines are restricted from growing too vigorously or ripening too quickly ensuring the grapes develop wonderful flavor and character.
