Description

Sailor Seeks Horse has been one of the breakout Tasmanian producers of the last decade and over that time Paul and Gilli Lipscombe’s Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay has become one of the most sought-after white wines in Tasmania. The 2023 vintage is a stunning example of what makes this vineyard - and these winemakers - so special.

This is precise, intense, and deeply structured, yet it has a generosity that sets it apart from more linear cool-climate expressions. The fruit is immaculate - crystalline citrus, white peach, and saline minerality wrapped in a beautifully judged frame of new French oak. It’s all about balance: power without heaviness, drive without austerity. And ultimately, it's about making one of the most delicious and cellar-worthy Chardonnays in all of the Apple Isle.

The Huon Valley’s signature acidity gives this wine real energy and length, but there’s also an underlying depth and persistence that suggests it will evolve beautifully over time. One of the most compelling Chardonnays in Tasmania right now.

    A big chardonnay. Some elements of butteriness and oakiness. Great.

In warmer regions you often get either breadth or precision but rarely both. We like to think our wines combine the two and never more so than in this Chardonnay. It has length, persistence and generosity combined with that saline character we see each year, all supported with some delicious new French oak.

Sailor Seeks Horse

Sailor Seeks Horse is one of the Apple Isle's most exciting new producers. It's a husband and wife team behind the scenes, Paul and Gilli Lipscombe.

The Lipscombes produce exquisite Pinot Noir and Chardonnay off their estate vineyard, planted by their own hands, back in 2005. The wines have startling energy to them, with a pinpoint balance of fruit and savoury spice. They are released in perilously small amounts and are never around for long.

With the small cult following the couple have garnered since starting their own label, their wines are now hunted by serious collectors who want to be in on the ground floor.

As Mike Bennie declared with Paul and Gilli's inaugural 2013 Pinot Noir release, "We have here a new star in the making." Tasmanian Pinot and Chardonnay lovers, don't miss these scintillating wines.
