Claymore, ‘Voodoo Child’ Chardonnay 2016

Appearance
Light, bright yellow

Nose
Distinct and complex – floral with a hint of kiwi fruit and pawpaw. Notes of oyster shell and a minerality, with a hint of vanilla from slight oak complexity.

Palate
This is a wine of great fruit purity – a true expression of Watervale Chardonnay. Delicate acid with a slight nectarine and goat cheese finish are complemented by a beautiful layering of flavour enhanced by slight oak intervention. Persistence of acid on the finish brings a complexity to the wine of slate, mid-palate creaminess and vanilla. Textural, balance, lush and poise are all apt descriptors.

This a Claymore’s exciting first release of Chardonnay – they acquired a stunning 45 acre established Watervale vineyard in June 2014 and from this have hand selected a 5 tonne parcel of dry-grown, 1960’s Chardonnay to become their first ever Chardonnay.

The grapes were hand harvested at optimal ripeness (with great acid/flavour balance), chilled the picking bins prior to crushing and then fermented the free run and pressings juice separately, at very cool temperature until dry. Some extended lees contact and oak maturation was utilized to add another dimension to an already complex wine.

Suitable for vegans!

  • Claymore ‘Nirvana’ Reserve Shiraz, 2017

    Add to cart
    £29.95

    This is the icon of legendary Claymore wines portfolio. You will never view a Shiraz in the same way.

    This is a wine of elegance, finely structured and delicately balanced. Big juicy fruits are balanced by savoury, spicy elements in the mouth. Lusciously rich plums, blackberries and liquorice are wrapped in gently charry oak brought into line with crisp acidity.

  • Maxwell, Ellen Street Shiraz, 2012

    £23.95

    COLOUR AND NOSE

    The colour of cherry red. This wine shows aromas of coffee and vanilla bean, violets, glacé fruits and cherries.

    PALATE

    Flavours of plum, chocolate, and blackberry are immediate in the first sip. This Shiraz shows clean minerality from the limestone sub soils and rich earthy characters through the middle palate offering intense concentration of fruit with soft velvety tannin to complete this wine.

    CELLARING POTENTIAL

    Given satisfactory cellaring conditions, it is expected this wine will drink particularly well at 6 to 8 years of age.

    Claymore, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, Shiraz 2014

    Add to cart
    £16.95

    Made with selected parcels of estate grown fruit from Claymore’s Watervale and Penwortham vineyards, the 2014 Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz proves again the exceptional quality of their low yielding non-irrigated vines.

    Maturation on oak barrels complements juicy dark berry fruit in this full flavoured wine – rich and generous with a soft, lingering finish. You are invited to explore the ‘dark side’ – now or after 6+ years in the cellar.

    Suitable for vegans!
