Pepper Tree ‘Pump Shed’ Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Hunter Valley

$289.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

From Bernard 76 clone Chardonnay vines on our Wrattonbully vineyard, the 2020 vintage produced very small crops leading to concentrated flavours and excellent acid balance. Careful handling with a judicious use of oak has crafted a restrained and complex Chardonnay with great fruit intensity.

“A 30yo vineyard planted on ebbs of low-yielding limestone. Hand picked, sorted and fermented spontaneously in a large (3000L) oval vessel, on full solids, where it remained for 9 months. This may well be the best wine under the Pepper Tree banner, tucking in a skein of mineral match-struck pungency amidst folds of stone fruits, nougatine, a waxy mandarin scent with a lick of quinine to kumquat bitterness to finish. Impressive palate-staining intensity. The oak, nicely nestled. A countenance of generosity melded with a contemporary verve. Delicious drinking that is more reminiscent of a flavourful wine from California than the more linear Aussie norm.”

About Pepper Tree Wines

For thirty years Pepper Tree has been a beacon for quality wine in the heart of Hunter wine country. Founded in 1991 it continues to flourish as one of the stalwart wine companies of the region.

Pepper Tree started with a focus on grapes from the Hunter Valley but today the roots run deep for owner John Davis with vineyard sites in four premium wine growing regions across Australia.

Our Commitment to the four regions in which John Davis has invested so much of his time and expertise in are the driving force behind all we do. The Hunter Valley represents us but the roots of the tree spread through all four regions. You could say it’s the best of four worlds.

Vigneron and Owner, John Davis saw the potential of the Hunter Valley and continued to find other sites to complement his prized vineyards. Due to his Geology background he sought the perfect soils to grow grapes. Orange in New South Wales, as well as Coonawarra and Wrattonbully in the Limestone coast complemented his prized vineyard assets ensuring there are premium grapes from four diverse regions.

Pepper Tree runs its own dedicated marketing, sales and export teams, allowing us to deal directly with our consumers. This practise along with our vineyards and the passion and expertise of our team is what makes Pepper Tree Wines what it is today.
