Patrick Sullivan Limestone Coast Chardonnay 2024
Patrick Sullivan, a name synonymous with exceptional Australian chardonnay, is thrilled to unveil the 2024 release of his eponymous wine. This second release continues to celebrate the distinctive volcanic soils of southern Australia, showcasing a remarkable balance of richness, vibrant fruit and refined minerality.
The Patrick Sullivan 2024 Chardonnay, sourced from the Limestone Coast vineyards of Mount Gambier, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully, opens with lively citrus notes of lime, lemon, and grapefruit, complemented by aromas of nutmeg spice and hazelnut oak. As the glass warms, richer layers of ripe peach, vanilla custard and buttered toast emerge. The wine also features a delicate lacework of minerality and zesty acidity that cuts through its creamy crème brûlée opulence. With its freshness, concentration and nuanced oak influence, it offers a long, fruit-driven finish.
These Limestone Coast vineyards are characterized by a shallow volcanic topsoil overlaying subsoils of limestone and basalt. This region, the third largest volcanic plain on Earth, is home to around 400 dormant volcanoes. Having spent much of his childhood in this extraordinary landscape, Patrick is excited to share this sophisticated Australian chardonnay - a true testament to the unique terroir and heritage that have shaped his winemaking journey and the exceptional 2024 vintage.
