Josef Chromy is a true success story based on hard work, experience and commitment to creating quality wine. Since arriving in Australia as a refugee from Soviet-occupied Czechslovakia, he has been a major proponent on the Tasmanian wine scene. He invested in the state’s fledgling wine industry and has owned and developed some of Tasmania’s leading wineries including Jansz, Heemskerk, Tamar Ridge Wines and what is now known as Bay of Fires.

"this very intense and powerful, yet perfectly delineated and balanced wine..." 96 Points in Halliday Wine Companion 2017.

Aromas of grapefruit, ripe pear and white stone fruit with underlying toast and nuts. The palate is full of juicy fruit, roasted nuts and a creamy complexity lifted by refreshing acidity and a long, fruit driven finish.

Few places in the world make truly great Riesling, but Mount Langi in the Grampians, Victoria has to be one of those.

Some Young Punks epitomise the best of New Australia. The punks consist of Col McBryde (voted Australia's Young Gun Winemaker of the Year), Jen Gardner (self confessed nerdy yeast expert) and thirdly Nic Bourke. Like most of the new breed of interesting, young winemakers in Australia they aren't moved by porty Shiraz and seek instead a sense of place and restraint the wines, influenced by the best of the Old World and the New. Col McBryde is as unimpressed by flash-in-the-pan medal-winners that are short on provenance as he is by being hide-bound to the Old World, and carves his own niche. Yet being media savvy and having a sense of humour allows this ironically quietly-spoken but earnest bunch to market themselves outrageously and to bring a fresh approach to labelling. Expect to see increasingly alarming labels sported by increasingly interesting and wholly unique wines. Grapes are carefully monitored and purchased locally.

Intensely aromatic with freshly squeezed lemon and lime overlaying freshly baked bread. This aroma is complex with some toasty notes and almond.

Country: Australia

Grapes: Chardonnay

ABV: 13.5%

A deliciously different style of Aussie Riesling - a wine with a beautifully soft kiss...! 

Aromas of fresh lime, lemon, and a hint of corriander. Lovely citrus characters on the palate define the length and the floral characters add freshness on the palate. The subtle sweetness reveals itself as a lingering mid palate fruit bomb.
