This was a real concern as the yields were reduced by up to 50% on both red and white grapes. As the growing season progressed into 2016 we did receive some good rain, but some damage had been done with small clusters and tiny berries, although this gave us some of the darkest, strongest and most intense wine we have ever made.

The Fogarty Group has established Lowestoft as a serious player in Tasmanian still wines and its first foray into the sparkling world meets the same aspiration, not least thanks to the consulting of Natalie Fryar. This is an intricately assembled blend that achieves just the right balance between clean, cool, zesty fruit and the nutty, patisserie allure of lees age. The red apples and strawberries of pinot noir are well melded with the lemon zest of chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"91\" title=\"Halliday Wine Companion 2023\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lowestoft","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":39915909742662,"sku":"3311SPKNVD67","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/products\/LOW_Sparkling_ReserveBrut.jpg?v=1651823348"},{"product_id":"thalia-nv-reserve-cuvee","title":"Thalia Reserve Cuvée NV","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ecolour\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslucent gold with a fine bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003earoma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cavalcade of complex aromatics, displaying French pâtisserie delights and ripe citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003epalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh bread dough characters are accompanied by toasted almond and subtle ginger spice, complementing the rich stone fruits.

The cold whole bunches of Chardonnay were then tipped into the press which then squeezed the juice out by the use of an airbag inflating to low pressures – this is the most gentle way to extract the juice and is a prerequisite to making world class Chardonnay wine. The juice was allowed a limited amount of controlled oxidation with the turbid juice then going straight into barrel – 100% French oak puncheons (500L) used with 18% being new and the balance 1yr old. All barrels wild fermented on solids to dryness before a small amount of SO2 was added, and the wine chilled and barrels topped and bunged. No MLF was allowed. Battonage was undertaken on each new barrel every 4 weeks and on the 1yr barrels every 8 weeks. Barrel maturation was conducted at 15C for 10 months followed by a further 8 months on yeast lees in tank before 1yr bottle maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChardonnay  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTA 8.48 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFried lemon and almond coated King George Whiting with crab salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNational Wine Show of Australia 2024\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[badge rating\u003cspan\u003e=\"gold\" title=\"National Wine Show of Australia 2024\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoyal Hobart Wine Show 2023\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[badge rating\u003cspan\u003e=\"gold\" title=\"Royal Hobart Wine Show 2023\"] \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[badge rating=\"trophy\" title=\"Royal Hobart Wine Show 2023\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cliff Heard Perpetual Trophy for the Best Chardonnay Dry White\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMelbourne royal wine awards 2023\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[badge rating\u003cspan\u003e=\"gold\" title=\"Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2023\"] \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[badge rating=\"trophy\" title=\"Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2023\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Western Australian Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSydney Royal Wine Show 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[badge rating\u003cspan\u003e=\"gold\" title=\"Sydney Royal Wine Show 2024\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWine Show of Western Australia 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"gold\" title=\"Wine Show of Western Australia 2024\"] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJames Halliday Chardonnay \u0026amp; Cabernet Challenge 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"gold\" title=\"Halliday Chardonnay \u0026amp; Cabernet Challenege 2024\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[split]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wine that ebbs and flows; one minute, lots of flavour, all citrus, spice and stone fruit, then the next, pared back, revealing a tight acid backbone and a slip of creamy lees.

A mild spring followed with October having significantly higher rainfall than average and spring being cool and cloudy in general.
