CLARENCE HOUSE ESTATE | CAMBRIDGE | TASMANIA
Inspired by the great wines of the Old World, here you will find an interesting mix of wines thriving in the cool climate setting of Tasmania’s Meehan Ranges, presenting exceptional quality and superb value.
The Vinyard
The vineyard is managed conscientiously, with judicious use of inputs and sustainability in mind. Systemic herbicides, insecticides and fungicides are not used. The vineyard undervine area is slashed, the inter-row sward is left to thrive and flower, irrigation is used sparingly and the vine canopies are treated in such a way as to promote balanced, tempered growth in line with the current season’s conditions. In doing so, the Clarence House fruit boasts beautiful aromatics, fresh natural acidity and physiologically ripe tannins.
2024 Chardonnay
Entirely from a single block, two clones of Chardonnay were sourced from Block 4, which resides on an east-facing slope with views back towards the Clarence House homestead and Mt Rumney. Picked in the first days of April, whole-bunch pressed and allowed to ferment wild in a combination of tank and old French oak puncheons.
Wonderfully complex, with citrus and stonefruit tempered by mineral and spice notes. Elegant and seamless, persistent and refreshing. Will age gracefully however equally enjoyable fresh and unbridled with appropriate cuisine.
