- TASTING NOTE: "They’re making scintillating chardonnay at Sailor Seeks Horse. This has cut and drive but texture and flavour as well. It’s spot on. Lemon curd, nectarine, honeysuckle and custard powder flavours push convincingly through the palate. There’s both a squeakiness and a confidence about this. It’s lovely." Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
- ABOUT THE WINE: Whole bunch pressed, settled, 12 months in oak, 20% new, unfined.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Gilli and Paul Liscombe are the wife and husband team behind Sailor Seeks Horse, one of Tasmania's most exciting producers. Paul tends to the vines while Gilli looks after the cellar. Their 6.5ha vineyard was originally planted in 2005 with Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. It was left to grow wild till 2010 when the Liscombes bought the property. Other than some of the Pinot, they ripped it all out and replanted with an eclectic mix of clones of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Their wines are energetic and pure and should be near the top of any Chardonnay and Pinot lovers list of wines to try.
