Description
The return of one of our favourite contemporary Australian wines – a phenomenal multi-vintage blend from James Madden’s solera system.
This latest rendition of Forever Still combines chardonnay and pinot gris, aged for 36 months under flor, with a 20% portion of wine from James’ 8-year-old solera.
The final wine is composed of fruit from various organic sites in the Adelaide Hills as well as the Barossa.
This is wonderfully layered, with classic aged-Chardonnay flavours and textures mingling with slightly spicier notes from the pinot gris, and abundant depth and savoury complexity from the aged portion.
A compelling and super impressive release which we recommend heartily to any and all fans of deep and gastronomic white wines.
