James Halliday: 94 points

Vine age: Vines planted in 1970’s by Don Maxwell

Planted at 200m altitude on a Southern facing steep slope on deep red volcanic basalt soil, in the foothills of the Brokenback Mountain Range.

Colour: crystalline bright: a very youthful, fine chiffon yellow.

Aromas: primary fruits are yellow pineapple to bright nectarine with subtle hints of jasmine and fine oak, suggestions of pistachio and vanilla.

Palate: defines pineapple and stone-fruit with a crisp minerally finish. Fine textures due to whole-bunch inclusion at pressing, generate an elegant umami that matches the finesse of fruit and the delicacy of oak. Creamy yeast-lees chime in with savoury textural hints of yoghurt and cashew, and these elemental signatures will enrich the main flavours with plush roundness as the wine matures and softens.

This vineyard has excellent pedigree and potential. This 2019 Chardonnay will last for many years and show at its best from 2025 and onwards. If drinking now please allow time in the glass, or decant, and enjoy.

About Keith Tulloch Wine

This small, completely family owned winery and vineyard produces wines that express our unique terroir and climate, from the ancient soils of the Brokenback Range. Our family and team work to attain the full potential of these vineyards.

Keith Tulloch is a fourth generation Hunter Valley Winemaker, so the soils of Pokolbin and the wines of the Hunter Valley run deep in his blood. Keith is a qualified Winemaker, a Wine Judge, and Wine Consultant.

In 1997 Keith began his own company, and produces wines under his own label focussing only on the traditional Hunter Valley varieties – Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and more recently other Rhone varietals, sourcing grapes from only the best vineyard sites.

These wines are hand-made with meticulous care, and epitomise the best qualities of Hunter Valley wine. All wines released have the style, balance, structure and integrity necessary for graceful maturation and cellaring. Winery production is very limited, with a combined output of only 12000 dozen per year.

For Keith the greatest reward has been found – making his own wines with a unique stamp of personality, power and integrity – away from the mainstream, and with a individual style and flair.

Awarded a 5-star rating by James Halliday for being “an outstanding winery capable of producing wines of the highest calibre.
