Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
Tucked away in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, this small vineyard ranks among the southernmost in Australia. Owned and operated by Paul and Gilli Lipscombe, both highly experienced in viticulture and winemaking and it reflects their passion and expertise. Their impressive résumé includes a Jimmy Watson Trophy win for their work at Home Hill, where they’ve been crafting wines in recent years.
While searching for the perfect site to create Australia’s finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. That quest led them to this north-facing vineyard, ideally positioned to capture sunlight while being protected from the chilly south-westerly winds.
Tasting Notes
"There's a little more aromatic concentration this year methinks. Still resplendent in its ripe white peach and citrus fruits, flecked with spiced oatmeal, clotted cream, meadow wildflowers, grilled cashews, nougat, distant struck flint and nicely judged vanillin oak. Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and line. It finishes savoury and very moreish and that is a big win." 96 Points - Halliday Wine Companion, Dave Brookes (2025).
