Eight at the Gate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Sisters Jane Richards and Claire Davies are part of a SA farming family. While Jane took a path through the corporate world in the US, Claire stayed in South Australia attending the famous Roseworthy College, and they came together in 2002 to set up Eight at the Gate in Wrattonbully. The name is a reference to the eight children they have between them! Multi award winning Peter Douglas, once a senior winemaker with Wynns Coonawarra Estate, heads the winemaking team. This is their deliciously refreshing and moreish 90pt single vineyard Chardonnay. “Charming and elegantly lifted, showing crunchy apple, lemon peel and green olive notes with a hint of savoury pastry on the nose. The palate delivers juicy fruit flavours with fine texture and crisp acidity, finishing linear and lingering” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
