Description
WINEMAKER: Tim Stock
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETAL: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"Rudy is sourced from a small co-farmed block of just over 1 hectare of 37-year-old Chardonnay vines deep in the Piccadilly Valley. Treated with great care along the whole journey – hand harvesting, chilling overnight, gentle whole bunch pressing and a light settling ensure the finest juice goes into barrel for fermentation.
Rudy is always a Chardonnay that welcomes you with open arms. Far from the finely chiselled examples so popular today its almost a little nostalgic in comparison. Old oak and no sulphur during elevage ensure its aromas take on a well rounded complexity in place of a pure fruit lift. More secondary notes of cashew and hazelnut with a little butter and fragrant fruit derived spice of sandal and cedar. There’s an earthy sandstone minerality too. The palate is soft and gentle but rich and satisfying. There is ripe fruit there with evolved white peach and sweet clementine then a little caramel and honeycomb before an intense slightly saline stony minerality builds to be the dominant character on the fresh but very long finish. The acidity is supporting all the way and perfectly balanced. A seamless slippery surprise." - Tim Stock
Renowned importer and industry favourite Tim Stock also makes some seriously good wine. Working out of the Commune of Buttons shed in the Basket Range, Tim strives to produce savoury, terroir-driven wines that speak of place.
