Description

This is a barrel selection from across the various De Iuliis Chardonnay vineyards, taking the best parcels of fruit and crafting them into this special wine.

As winemaker Milke de Iuliis explains, "It is the style of Chardonnay that we love to drink. Fine, elegant, complex and well balanced wine, nothing like the guys who made it!"

'Limited Release' in both name and nature - get onto this stunning, 95 point-rated Hunter Valley Chardonnay while stocks last.

95 points - "This is a best barrel selection. Much lighter on its feet than the ’22 standard release: lovely juicy mid-palate; good line, length and balance, as the late Len Evans might have said. 250 dozen produced, and each bottle numbered." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

THE STORY

In 2021 we selected the best barrels from our
Steven and LDR Vineyards and blended them to produce this
wine.

It is the style of
Chardonnay that we love to drink. Fine, elegant,
complex and well balanced wine, nothing
like the guys who made it!

THE VINTAGE

Low yields, small bunches and exceptional fruit profile were the
hallmarks of the 2021 vintage.

A good growing and picking season resulted in high quality fruit coming off our vineyards.

THE WINE

Subtle aromas of vanillin oak and melon, with a hint of green pear.

The wine is balanced with the creamy vanillan
texture from maturation in French Oak.

Medium length on the finish makes this a
balanced modern
Australian Chardonnay.

De Iuliis

De Iuliis - pronounced [de uli ~ iss] - is one of the brightest stars from the Hunter Valley.

Owners Joss and Anna De luliis first planted vines on their estate in the famous Lovedale sub-region back in 1990, but it wasn’t until their son Mike got involved after graduating from the world-renowned Roseworthy campus (Adelaide University) in 1999 that things really took off.

Today Mike crafts an excellent array of site-specific wines that are a very good modern representation of what the Hunter Valley has to offer.
