Persoonlijke gegevens
A legend is the only word apt for the remarkable winemaker Geoff Merrill. His vineyards are located not far from Adelaide in McLaren Vale, where a ridge and a cool sea breeze provide some relief. Geoff has his own unique approach: he makes his wines not for the short term, but for the long term. He doesn't shy away from oak aging, as long as the wines can handle it. Also remarkable is that Geoff allows his wines to mature before releasing them. Reserve wines are only available six years after harvest, and estate wines three years after harvest. This is partly due to the presence of fine acidity, which gives the wine a rich fruit structure and enhances its complexity. The Reserve Shiraz has received the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, the highest honor for a Shiraz in Australia.
The Geoff Merrill Pimpala Road Chardonnay has a beautiful light straw yellow color. The nose reveals ripe citrus fruit with hints of Galia melon, a delicious butterscotch, and vanilla from the oak. The palate offers ripe acidity, a creamy texture, and a vanilla finish. This is a lovely, full-bodied Chardonnay made for aging and definitely one for those who appreciate a full, creamy Chardonnay with that familiar buttery note.
FACT: Pimpala Road is named after the location of the house, the historic Mount Hurtle winery, which is situated on Pimpala Road.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2023 Geoff Merrill Pimpala Road Chardonnay verwent met rijp citrusfruit, galiameloen en een romige, vanille-rijke afdronk ondersteund door fraaie zuren die structuur geven en rijpheid behouden. Deze volle, boterachtige Chardonnay past dankzij zijn vettere body en subtiele houtinvloed perfect bij vette vis, barbecue en feestelijke, romantische momenten op het terras. Serveer licht gekoeld en laat hem even op adem komen naast gerechten zoals gegrilde zalm met citroenboter of een romige kreeftsaus; lichte oxidation hints kunnen extra florale en notige nuances geven die het gerecht naar een hoger niveau brengen. |

A legend, that is the only correct word for the striking winemaker, Geoff Merrill. The vineyards can be found not far from Adelaide in McLaren Vale where a ridge and a cool sea breeze provide some relief. Geoff has special ideas of his own: he does not make his wines for the short term, but for the long term. He also does not shy away from aging in wood, as long as the wines can bear it. Also very remarkable is that Geoff lets his wines first drink before they appear on the market. For example, the reserve wines are only available 6 years after the harvest, and the estate wines 3 years after the harvest. This is partly possible due to the presence of fine acids that give the wine a rich fruit structure and enhance the complexity. The Reserve Shiraz has received the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, Australia's highest honor for a Shiraz.
