Summary: Mania is a contemporary expression of winemaking seeking to convey all that is wonderful about cool climate viticulture and the resultant wines. Leveraging friendships built over the years to source parcels of fruit from small growers across the state, and with a minimalistic approach to winemaking seeking purity and natural fruit flavours primarily.
 
Vineyard: The Mania Chardonnay is sourced from a smaller block of young-medium age of vines from the picturesque Tamar Valley. The vineyard is planted to multiple clones have been masterfully blended, contributing nuance and detail to the wine.


Winemaking:  Completely whole bunch pressed to older French barrels before being allowed to ferment naturally using wild yeast. Malolactic fermentation also allowed to being naturally and partially complete. Matured for 12 months in this older oak with intermittent battonage for 3 months post fermentation. 
 
2021 Vintage:  Vintage 2021 across the state of Tasmania has fairly consistent reports of above average rainfall during winter and early spring. Cooler temperatures combined with plentiful soil moisture leading into an uneventful growing season led to even and steady ripening. The final wines expected to show intense, bright and elegant flavours. 


Tasting Note: Lifted fruit aromas and subtle white floral nuance appear to lead into stone fruits, citrus and a fine minerality on the palate. The wine is long, fine and shows beautifully integrated and subtle oak and brown spice characters. This wine is long and refreshing for Chardonnay and will only improve over the coming months in bottle.
