Muse
Chardonnay 2021
The 2021 Muse Chardonnay opens with bright aromas of shortbread, brioche, and a hint of pepperberry, leading into a palate of pink lady, pear, and peach. Creaminess from lees stirring is balanced by fresh acidity and subtle oak tannins, culminating in a soft yet persistent finish. Youthful and vibrant, this vintage showcases the harmonious interplay between fruit, oak, and acidity that defines the Muse style.
Best Drinking
2026–2034 for bright fruit. Longer for increased toastiness.
Fruit, wild fermentation and oak characters in harmony.
Mouth-filling, supple and citrus-driven
Winemaker Notes
This wine is made to highlight a level of integration and austerity that I think best shows the Tasmanian terroir. Taut acidity and tannins give the wine great minerality that’s kept fresh through a lack of malolactic fermentation. The result is fruit, wild fermentation and oak characters in harmony with a solid backbone. This wine will drink very well in its youth but will also soften and improve with maturation—it’s this that we’re really working towards. Look for integrated oak and chalky minerality balanced between fruit weight, tight acidity and roundness from battonage: vineyard expression and technical winemaking.
