96 Points GOLD Decanter WWA 2020.
“From the Meadowbank Vineyard, whole-bunch pressed, fermented in very high quality French barriques (40% new), 50% mlf, which it absolutely needed, 8 months on lees. Every atom of this wine was taken into account in the vinification. It is immaculately balanced, the fruit with a delicacy not so often achieved in Tasmania, the finish pristine.” 95 Points, James Halliday
ABOUT DAWSON JAMES
"Wine that is made for love, not profit” - James Halliday Dawson James was born of a friendship and winemaking partnership between Peter Dawson and Tim James. With a collective experience of more than 80 vintages, the opportunity of making world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay drew them to Tasmania. The cool and dry climate, hungry soils and 30 + year-old vines grow grapes with great depth of flavour and intensity of character. Our winemaking philosophy is based on picking fruit with a natural balance of flavour and acidity. A very simple approach to winemaking allows fruit quality to shine through.
Description
The wine has lifted aromas of citrus peel, grapefruit with the complexity of struck flint and freshly baked pastry. Flavours are tightly wound with a core of sweet lemon curd, cream and cashew, finishing with lively long soft acidity.
The combination of low alcohol, intensity of fruit flavour and the retention of more than 8 grams/litre of natural acidity confers great poise and balance which will lead to enduring freshness and life.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Dawson James
Quality and innovation have always been the driving forces behind winemakers Peter Dawson and Tim James. The grapes are grown on the Meadowbank vineyard, which is located approximately 60 kms north west of Hobart. Its rugged topography is bounded by the fast flowing, pristine waters of the Derwent river. Plantings of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were first made in 1987. Vineyard patches selected for Dawson & James wines were planted in 1989 and vine age plays an important part in flavour development and the balance of the fruit. We remain utterly convinced that Australia’s finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir will be made in Tasmania and to be a part of that realisation is a challenge too great to resist.
