Notes
"The Tiers was the original name of the Piccadilly Valley area—the highest part of the Adelaide Hills— circa 1840.
It’s still a babe, with a palish yellow hue, and presents initially as a restrained style with a fresh, fruit-driven bouquet of lemon, nut and nougat, while the palate is intense and piercing, deep, concentrated and powerful, with biscuity overtones. It’s bright and refreshing, the lemony acidity powering a long finish. A superb chardonnay with a bright future. An ullaged bottle showed no sign of deterioration after four days, which I take as an additional positive sign."
