2022 Mother Block - White Blend Murray Darling (750ml)

Mother Block White is a field blend of Italian varieties that we’ve introduced to the Australian wine scene. It is crispy, fresh and vibrant with aromas of passionfruit, dragon fruit, lemon zest, lime juice and almond milk. A light to medium bodied palate is mouth watering and refreshing with green crunchy pear, granny smith apple, jackfruit, honeydew melon and chervil, with a finish that has a limestone mineral edge.

Our Mother Block range is at the heart of the Chalmers operation and showcases the source block from which we propagate our vines for the nursery from. These certified sustainable mother blocks are their new adopted home for our 30+ Italian varieties that thrive in the warm conditions of the Murray Darling under the vast canopy of the big blue sky.

Based on Vermentino, the makeup will change slightly from vintage to vintage, with likely inclusions of Fiano, Greco, Verdicchio, Grechetto among others. The fruit is kept cool and fermented in tank to retain bright fresh aromas. Once dry the wine will stay on fine lees for a short period to add some texture and interest without losing its vitality and verve.
