    2024 Ghost Rock 'Oulton' Chardonnay

    • $65.00

    About The Wine

    An exceptional wine with considerable character and intensity. The Oulton Vineyard is Ghost Rock’s lowest and most protected vineyard. Fruit for this wine was selected from the 95 clone. Vines were shoot-thinned early in the season and leaf-plucked before véraison to maximise airflow.

    The wine was gently pressed to tank and allowed a light settling before the cloudy juice was racked to barrel. It was barrel fermented with 30% new French oak. Following primary fermentation, barrels were kept warm to encourage malolactic fermentation, which was halted about halfway through. The wine was left to age in barrel, with occasional lees stirring. 

    About Ghost Rock

    Ghost Rock is absolutely on a roll—Best Pinot and all out champion of the show at Tassie wine show in January 2025 and winemaker Sierra Blair was crowned Young Gun of Wine People’s Choice.

    Operating for 20 years in the Cradle Coast, the Arnold family are almost 
    single-handedly responsible for the creation of the Cradle Coast wine region. Now under the capable management of second-generation Winemaker Justin Arnold, and his wife Alicia Peardon. 

    The sites are variations on a theme of rich volcanic clay: some heavier, some loamier, some sandier. The team work to control vigour, letting the cover crops go in the mid-rows, thinning shoots, laying more canes, and so forth. “They’re good sites, we’ve got the right clones and the acidity is the Tassie magic,” says Sierra. “I don’t know how much credit I can get for these wines being as good as they are.”
