Description

Peter Dredge’s "Chardennui" is the antidote to boring Chardonnay. A play on the French word ennui (meaning listlessness or boredom), this wine is anything but tired - it is designed to be the "not so normal" sibling in the Dr. Edge lineup.

Sourced from vineyards in the Tamar Valley (North) and the East Coast, the fruit is treated with a bit of "skinsy" action to dial up the texture. About 15% of the fruit was foot-stomped and fermented on skins, while the rest went into old oak puncheons. The final twist? A splash of Derwent Valley Riesling was added to the ferment to give it an extra kick of "fruit motivation."

The result is fresh, fun and delightfully off-kilter. It delivers white peach and nectarine flavours, backed by a textured, minerally grip from the skins and a zippy, clean finish. It’s Chardonnay with the volume turned up.

Dr Edge 'Chard-Ennui' is back by popular demand. Just. Tamar valley & Coal River Valley fruit is partially fermented on skins with some Derwent Valley Riesling. That's right, Riesling.

Chardennui is anything but tired or listless. Level of Dissatisfaction is up to you.

'RIP' - Artwork created by Boris Tellegen aka 'Delta.'

Dr. Edge

Peter Dredge is Dr. Edge. He is one of the most intuitive and talented winemakers on the Apple Isle.

With a wealth of experience garnered at wineries such as Bay of Fires, he has revitalised the Meadowbank label and returned it to its place as one of the must-watch vineyards in Tasmania.

Dr. Edge is his passion project where he can take risks and make Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Riesling that truly excites him. His creativity can fly under the Dr. Edge banner and wines that walk a fine line of tension, funk and freshness invariably arise.

Only small batches of wine is produced, all made by hand, and typically they sell out in short order. Playful, pleasurable and remarkably thoughtful, the Dr. Edge creations are riveting things to drink and have rightfully earned cult status among collectors of Tasmania's finest.
