Wine Description
The Cave Block within our Pipers River Vineyard, known for its draining soils and steep slopes results in low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. Hand-picked and sorted, this Chardonnay is matured in French oak barrels. White floral aromas mingle with early season peach, honeysuckle, lime zest and fresh ginger complemented by hints of brioche and pine nuts.

Winemaker's Bio
Peter Caldwell was born in New South Wales and raised in Tasmania. After a season in a Pipers River vineyard he was inspired to study winemaking and viticulture at Roseworthy College in South Australia. Pete spent almost two decades in Burgundy, Bordeaux, California and New Zealand.
After meeting his wife in France he returned south to Pipers River where he settled at Dalrymple Vineyards. In his 10 years at Dalrymple Vineyards, Pete has expanded vineyard plantings by fifty per cent, rejuvenated Dalrymple’s winemaking operations and established the property’s own insectarium. Pete is passionate about producing modern, stylish Tasmanian Pinot Noir.
