{"product_id":"2025-dr-edge-tasmania-clay-matured-chardonnay","title":"2025 Dr. Edge Tasmania Clay Matured Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Dredge has spent decades working across major mainland and Tasmanian estates, building a reputation for crafting exceptionally pure, site-driven cool-climate wines. With this unique vessel series, he is giving us a raw, transparent look at how the vessel itself shapes the voice of the fruit.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release takes the exact same multi-regional parcel of fruit used in the barrel version - dominated by the Derwent Valley - but matures it entirely within large 1,000L clay amphorae for nine months. Dredge avoids any wood contact here, relying on the breathing properties of the raw clay to handle the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt drops into the glass with a remarkably crisp, pristine energy. The fruit focus is incredibly direct, showing punchy citrus oil, raw nashi pear, and a distinct, wild sea-spray briny note. It feels tightly wound and glossy, with an extra degree of spice and tension perhaps over the barrel-aged version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother outstanding and fascinating wine from this winemaking superstar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There are a lot of things here that feel tucked in and tucked up; it builds a juicy intensity as it breathes but there’s a long sail ahead to where it will end up.
