Eldridge Estate Fumé Blanc 12pk 2021

Eldridge Estate is one of those unique, truly special places where a site and the guiding personalities are in perfect harmony. David Lloyd and his (late) wife, Wendy, purchased the property in 1995, and set about making wines of near incomparable commitment to their terroir in Red Hill, Mornington. Only 3ha under vine in a special sloping, enclosed valley – these are cool, elegant and unadorned wines. Eldridge Estate specialise in the local kings, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but with a superb Gamay added – one of Australia’s finest.
Eldridge Estate Fumé Blanc 2021
Seems a very good vintage for this wine. Blackcurrant, gooseberry, lime, slight green been and discreet spicy cedar oak. It’s pure, bright and flinty, with a cool feel, lime and tangy cape gooseberry, subtle herbal character, and a long fresh finish. Very impressive.
