Product Description
Product Details
Style: Savoury & Detailed
Adrian Rodda has been winemaking since 1998, almost entirely working with David Bicknell at Oakridge. He was thus involved in the development of the superb Oakridge 864 Chardonnay, his final contribution to 864 coming in 2009. At the start of 2010 he and his wife Christie, a doctor, and their small but growing family, decided to move to Beechworth, and it was no co-incidence that he was a long-term friend of viticulturist Mark Walpole. Yet further co-incidences came with the Smith vineyard and winery being available for lease, which he now shares with Mark Walpole. Even more, was the availability of Smith vineyard chardonnay, planted in 1978, and thus the release of the first A. Rodda wines. One should hardly be surprised that it is so good. JAMES HALLIDAY
In keeping with its 600m elevation, fruit from the Baxendale vineyard always shows impressive acidity and energy. In a great vintage such as 2021, it brings a tight linear presence, balanced and beautifully integrated, providing an ideal launching pad for bright citrus, stone fruits and aromatic florals. A busy, racy youngster with a big future ahead.(95) JAMES HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION
