Wine Summary Image

Chardonnay vines were first planted at Spring Vale in 1990. For the 2016 vintage the vine growth was nicely balanced with a healthy crop of chardonnay fruit that was ripened by a warm summer with a good dose of late January rain.

Flavour development began very early and acid levels softened at lower grape sugars than usual. The decision was made to pick over two days in mid-March, during which the fruit was destemmed and pressed with the resulting juice clarified by floatation.

Winery Tasting Notes

Aroma & Palate

The cool climate in Tasmania is perfectly suited to the production of the elegant Spring Vale Chardonnay that balances pristine fruit with a crisp natural acidity. The nose on this wine shows an intriguing mix of citrus blossom, jasmine and struck flint. The initial supple texture on the palate becomes focused toward a finish that weaves freshly zested lemon with a minerally tannin and refreshing acidity.

Food Match

This finely structured Chardonnay will age gracefully but also drinks exceptionally well now if you match with Cajun dusted East Coast flathead fillet or slow cooked pork belly!

Winery Profile

Spring Vale is situated at Cranbrook, north of Swansea on Tasmania's Freycinet Coast. The Freycinet Coast could otherwise be described as the mid East Coast, and Spring Vale is about in the middle of that.Continuing in the tradition of hard work and innovation established by William Lyne in 1826, Rodney and Lyn Lyne have planted 6.6 hectares of wine grapes at Spring Vale, principally Pinot Noir. The vineyard began in 1986, when a small area of two acres was planted to Pinot Noir. Further plantings were made in the following years: firstly, more Pinot Noir, then Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, followed by Pinot Gris in 1996. In 2000, more Pinot Noir and a splash of Pinot Meunier was planted.In June 2007, Spring Vale purchased a neighbouring farm, "Melrose". The purpose of this purchase was to enable decent amounts of a lighter red to be produced, with the first "Melrose" Pinot Noir being the 2008 Vintage.
