Delivery Details

Dawson James Chardonnay 2020 is a delightful white wine from Tasmania, Australia that perfectly balances aromas and flavours. With delicate aromas of citrus and floral notes, the wine is a true reflection of the beautiful and pristine vineyards of Derwent Valley, Tasmania. 

The Chardonnay is sourced from a single patch of I10V5 clone Chardonnay vines that were planted in 2000 on the Far Horse block at Meadowbank. This cool climate site produces flavour ripeness with modest levels of grape sugar.

Dawson James was established by two friends, Peter Dawson and Tim James, who met working at Hardy & Sons in the 70s. With over 80 vintages collectively under their belts, they've gone on to create a critically acclaimed winery focused on cool-climate expressions of Australian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

'97 Points. The bouquet surges from the glass, pink and yellow grapefruit to the fore, plus a desirable flick of funky complexity on the way through. It's entering its second life with the finale years away. It barely needs saying, but the savoury acidity is its staff of life. With deluxe chardonnays at $140-plus, this is positively cheap.

Grape: Chardonnay
The 2020 growing season was particularly cool. The spring was cold with frequent strong winds slowing shoot growth, causing smaller bunch size and ultimately reducing crop level. Lower than average temperatures prevailed in the lead up to harvest making it a slow ripening year, however grape flavours built and peaked with relatively low sugar levels and abundant natural acidity. This has resulted in wines with moderate levels of alcohol and outstanding balance.
The Dawson James is a fresh, minerally Chardonnay with delicious notes of lime and lemon blossom. With hints of hint flowers, soft spice and marzipan, there is a relentless minerality and luxuriously creamy.
Pair with a mushroom risotto or fettuccine alfredo, or alongside pan-seared lobster in a butter sauce.
