For thirty years Pepper Tree has been a beacon for quality wine in the heart of Hunter wine country. Founded in 1991 it continues to flourish as one of the stalwart wine companies of the region. Pepper Tree started with a focus on grapes from the Hunter Valley but today the roots run deep with vineyard sites in four premium wine growing regions across Australia situated in the Hunter and Orange in NSW to prized patches of soil in Coonawarra and Wrattonbully in South Australia. 

A pleasing Chardy which takes advantage of some of the cooler regions growing this much loved variety. In this case, Wrattonbully and Orange. This limited release is a lovely pale lemon hue. The nose gives the impression of a wine of delicacy but one of underlying power. The aromas whirl through limes, spices, florals, a gentle hint of oak and baked lemon pie. There is good focus here and moderate length. Nice balance, this is a really attractive wine which will drink beautifully over the next 4 to 6 years.
