{"product_id":"2023-murdoch-hill-tilbury-chardonnay","title":"2023 Murdoch Hill Tilbury Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichael Downer’s Tilbury Chardonnay is a great example of what makes the Adelaide Hills such an exciting spot for modern Australian Chardonnay. Most of the fruit comes from Lenswood, with a smaller slice from Piccadilly - two cooler pockets of the Hills that bring brightness and crunch, but also a bit of weight and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of Murdoch Hill’s Artisan range, Tilbury is where Downer plays around a little more - wild ferments, whole berries, a fair bit of lees contact, and a mix of French and Austrian oak (about 40% new). It’s not flashy, just quietly detailed and really well judged. You get the purity of the fruit, but there’s also a chalky edge, a bit of grip, and just enough texture to keep it interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage was cool and wet, but you wouldn’t know it from this. The wine feels composed, layered, and built to age, even though it’s already drinking well now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Crushed rock flintiness and oyster shell brine meet citrus and herbs.
