Annie's Rain Chardonnay [2022] 750ml/White

A historic winery whose predecessor was Quelltaler Estate, founded in 1863.

In the early 20th century, Annie Wayman was a local woman who cared for growers in the Clare Valley every day, delivering sandwiches and hot drinks to them while they were busy harvesting and selecting crops. One day, Annie's carriage gets stuck in the mud and becomes stuck. The fields right next to the road were known for producing some of the highest quality wine in the Clare Valley. The field was named Annie's Lane after her.

Annie's Lane owns many of the oldest vineyards in the Clare Valley and has developed a reputation for quality wine since its inception. In particular, the Shiraz produced from old vines and labeled as ``Copper Trail'' solidified the potential of the Clare Valley and the reputation of Annie's Lane.

All wines have a soft, full-bodied style with concentrated fruit flavors. We aim to produce high quality wine at an affordable price.

clare valley

South Australia's northernmost wine region, located 100km north of Adelaide. The area has a wide variety of topography, with many rolling hills extending from north to south in a narrow valley. The southern center is home to slate and calcareous soils, making Riesling famous.

The Clare Valley is known as Australia's leading producer of Riesling, but it also has a reputation for Shiraz and Cabernet, producing wines with concentrated flavor and structure.

The climate is generally mild and continental, and due to the high altitude, it gets hot during the day, but it gets very cold at night. Clare Valley wines are characterized by high ripeness and acidity. Rain falls primarily in the winter and spring, after which it is very dry, requiring irrigation during the growing season. Humidity is relatively low, and there are few diseases caused by mold.

water veil

Watervale, the home of Annie's Lane, is dominated by a red topsoil called terra rossa, which covers a calcareous upper layer and extends down to the crushed slate of the Porish River basin. The soil is well-drained but has some water-holding capacity and does not require irrigation except in periods of extreme heat. The temperature difference between day and night maintains acidity, while the high drainage capacity concentrates the flavor of the grapes.

Aromas of yellow peach, melon, and hazelnut. The lively tropical fruit flavors are rounded out by citrus acidity, and the oak flavor brings the whole thing together in a well-balanced manner. The grapes are vinified in separate plots, and the fruitiest grapes are fermented and aged in old French oak barrels.
