Tempus Two Chardonnay

Product Info

The winery was established in 1998 under the name "Hermitage Road" because the McGuigans lived on that street. However, the term "Hermitage" is trademarked and so the new name "Tempus Two", in the sense of "second attempt", then resulted. The grapes for Tempus Two grow only in small part in the Hunter Valley. The Limestone Coast stretches along the coast to the south of Adelaide. This region is the largest producer of premium wines in Australia. The Barossa Valley is located one hour north of Adelaide. The climate is perfect for great red wines with soul.  Up-front white peach and quince characters with hints of pineapple and grapefruit. Subtle and integrated French oak and barrel- ferment characters are also apparent. A fresh and zesty wine with citrus and white peach fruit flavours at the fore. The wine has a crisp natural acidity from the free-run juice which is balanced subtle yeasty barrel-ferment characters. The wine finishes with a bright lemony acidity.
