Josef Chromy Sauvignon Blanc 2024

(0)

$34.00

Josef Chromy's Sauvignon Blanc is one of the more complex expressions of the variety in Tasmania. Intense citrus, kiwi fruit, gooseberry, and fresh cut grass on the nose, with herbal notes of fennel, dill, and crunchy celery adding a distinctive layer of freshness. Dry and mineral driven on the palate, with pomelo, fresh lemon juice, and lime zest, and a chalky texture that sets it apart. Elevated acidity and a clean, zesty finish. Pair with fresh seafood, goat's cheese, or light summer dishes. Drink now through 2028.

Aroma

Citrus, kiwi fruit, gooseberry, fresh cut grass, green capsicum, and herbal notes of fennel and celery.

Pairings

Pairs well with fresh seafood or light summer dishes, matching the wine's zesty acidity.

Wine Making

Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked at optimal ripeness in early April. The grapes were promptly pressed under dry ice cover, and the free run juice separated and clarified to maximise the wine’s aromatic potential. The cool fermentation lasted approximately two weeks and was monitored daily. Clear wine was racked from its lees and left to mature in tank for several months prior to bottling.

Meet the owners

Josef Chromy's story is one of the most remarkable in Australian wine. He fled Czechoslovakia in 1950 as a penniless 19-year-old, eventually settling in Tasmania and building a butchery empire before turning to wine in his sixties. After developing and selling brands including Jansz, Heemskerk and Tamar Ridge, Josef launched his namesake winery in 2007, aged 76, at the Relbia property just south of Launceston. In just four years the estate picked up 14 trophies and 170 medals, and the 2011 Chardonnay was named Best Chardonnay in the World at the Decanter World Wine Awards. Josef passed the business on in 2022, but the estate continues producing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wine true to his cool climate philosophy.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
