Description

Few wineries enjoy the feverish scramble for their new releases like Tonic Wines. And the fever is well deserved.

It's a lighter more elegant version of the Tonic Chardy, tending towards the zing of citrus and grapefruit, and though it spent time on full lees it carries a crash of lean acidity through to the finish.

An excellent, tense, modern Australian Chardonnay!

    An amazing Chardonnay, that consistently delivers. With a little time in the cellar it would be that much more rounded, but still drinking well now.

It's a generous wine of lime juice and just-ripe white peachiness — maybe a touch of white floras as a highlight. Who knows? This all mixes with a savoury chicken stock note and a distinct saline edge. The palate is full on entry but quickly tightens with a lick of phenolics which hold the wine in tight. Lovely shape and extension through the back palate. The acid comes along for the ride but this wine is more about the generosity of the Adelaide Hills fruit flavour and a chewy texture. Crunch.

Tonic Wines

Tonic Wines is a South Australian-based one-man show by experienced winemaker, Glenn Barry.

Glenn has curated a fine collection of sustainably farmed vineyards from across the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and beyond that provide the basis for his small, handcrafted range.

The Tonic stable spans Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro, Malbec & Chardonnay. These wines are highly expressive and have developed quite a 'cult' following from those in the know. Very small batches made and plenty of demand means you'll find them only available for a limited time.

As Glenn says about his Tonics, "It'll do nothing for your health but plenty for your soul."
