Sommelier's Notes

Château Tanunda, Birth place of the Barossa, was established in 1890 and is the site of some of the Valley’s first vines planted as well as its first winery.


The Château is privately owned by the Geber family who are proud custodians of the Chateau’s 130th year winemaking tradition.


Its 130 years of winemaking heritage makes it the only internationally-recognised winemaking Château in Australia, a champion of Barossa Old Vine Expressions and is regularly rated amongst the top wine producers in the country.


This is one of the most historically significant winery buildings in the Barossa Valley, built from bluestone quarried in the late 1880s and restored by the Geber family some 120 years later.


Château Tanunda owns almost 100ha of vineyards in Bethany, Eden Valley, Tanunda and Vine Vale, including an impressive collection of old vines aged 50–150 years old.


Additional fruit is sourced from a group of 30 growers covering the panoply of Barossa districts.


The premium wines are typically hand picked, basket pressed and neither fined nor filtered.


The focus here is on old-vine wines, as well as single-district and single-vineyard wines under the Terroirs of the Barossa and The Château labels respectively.


A second cellar door has opened in the Rocks, Sydney.


"Blocking of mlf has retained firm, astringent acidity in this sparkling Eden Valley chardonnay. 18 months on lees has built exotic white Christmas cake nuances."

WINEMAKING


Carefully picked in the cool of the night to retain the grapes’ fresh citrus fruit flavours and natural acidity which is vital in sparkling winemaking.


Following a gentle pressing of the grapes the free-run juice undergoes primary fermentation on light lees. Malolactic fermentation is discouraged in order to retain the wine’s freshness and vivacity. The base wine is then bottled prior to its secondary fermentation with at least 9 years’ maturation on yeast lees before disgorging and bottling for release.

95 POINTS

Review by: Sam Kim, Wine OrbitA gorgeous expression offering richness and complexity; the inviting bouquet shows lemon peel, rockmelon, oatmeal and brioche characters, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that is finely textured and delightfully flowing. It is flavoursome and persistent, perfectly framed by bright acidity. At its best: now to 2024.
