There isn’t a lot Bryan Martin can’t turn his hand to, Chardonnay included. He’s been tinkering with the variety for years, trying different fermentation and maturation techniques to figure out the Ravensworth style. And figure it out, he has. The fruit comes from two sites (both run by Johansen Wines) in Tumbarumba: Mountain View and Glenburnie. The Glenburnie site sits at 710 metres and has soils rich in basalt and iron minerals, while Mountain View lies at 760 metres on granite and quartz. The fruit was kept on skins for eight to 24 hours before being pressed to demi-muids and foudre for fermentation. The demi-muids were not topped, contributing an alluring nutty/saline note to the finished wine. After 12 months’ maturation, the wine was blended and bottled. Not your average Chardonnay, but something so much more.

Reviews

“Fruit comes off the Johansen vineyard and there’s certainly something about that site, as it has a distinct character year in, year out. It’s a lovely yet frisky drink featuring barely ripe white nectarine, lemon and pith, a little zest, too, and a smidge of ginger spice. Creamed honey/nougat and nutty lees fills the palate somewhat as lively acidity is in charge.”
