Product Description
Product Details
Style: Dry & Racy
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 coincidence 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
I have begun to really love the red apple type characters here. Interestingly I find them on the nose, in the form of red apple skin, and texturally it's like biting in to a slightly chalky apple, kind of powdery across the sides of the palate. Otherwise it's a little more racy than its siblings. The nose a little more shy, pretty but a little reserved. It's always the case here. Of the three this wine is the most lithe, restrained and introverted. It is also probably the most immediately lovable. I mean, it has the swagger and strut the other two possess but it's a little less showy a little more pleasurable. It's the best version of this wine to date! ROSCOE
