About Tapanappa
Brian Croser, a prominent figure in the global wine trade and former Decanter's 'Man of the Year', is a true innovator and pioneer of cool-climate viticulture in Australia.
His Piccadilly Valley-based winery, Tapanappa, became a trendsetter very early on with their Tiers Vineyard, planted back in 1979. It was the first vineyard to be planted in the Adelaide Hills region in the twentieth century. Piccadilly Valley where the Tiers Vineyard is located has a climate comparable to Dijon in Burgundy. It is the second coolest region and has the highest annual rainfall in South Australia, and as a result, Croser is able to craft unique Chardonnay from this plot.

Ray Jordan (98)Winemaker Brian Croser is pretty excited about this wine, and a quick sniff and extended sip, and I think I know why. Like the rest of Australia, it was a very small crop resulting in a wine of deep fruit concentration. Once again, the wine spent an extended time until February this year on full lees, allowing pick up of further complexity and textural mouth feel. The striking feature is the palate power and length. I have tasted many of these wines but I don’t think I have tasted better. |

Wine Advocate (97+)This 2021 Chardonnay Tiers Vineyard is a sensational wine. Let me tell you about the vineyard, and then we'll come back to the glass. The Tiers vineyard was planted in the Picadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills by the Croser family in 1979. The vineyard lays at an elevation of around 450 meters (1,477 feet) above sea level at its highest point, and the wine was made by Brian Croser, an important name in Australian wine. The 2021 vintage was a goodie in South Australia. The start to the season (spring and around) was the recipient of a good level of rainfall and no ill-timed events, meaning fruit set and yields were decent, and the growing season itself was without heat events or challenges, meaning the picking windows were chosen based on the fruit, with no forced hands. So, to the wine. This is powerful, concentrated and shapely, with a core of pure citrus acidity (it's zesty and pithy). The fruit speaks of yellow peach and preserved lemon and a hint of white tea. The wine undulates across the tongue and shows line and poise that elevate it to the very top of the Chardonnay tree in Australia. One of the greats. I daresay it'll be even better in 2025. |
