Henskens Rankin Vintage Brut 2012

70/30 Chardonnay/Pinot. Hand picked, cold pressed with 3 parcels sourced from the Coal River Valley, Tasman Peninsula and NW Coast. 7 years lees ageing, disgorged 28th January 2019 and then was left on cork for a further 2 years. 2.5 g/l dosage and only 1400 bottles produced. Its a wine of subtlety and flavour with nectarine fruits, but the main feature is through the mid palate which provides a sensual creamy mouthfeel with hints of Saline and oyster shells and an exquisite acid line that lingers and provides a super clean and dry finish Budburst Rating: #fantasticwine 96 pts Region: Multi Regional Tasmania Last Tasted: 3/12/21 95 Pts the Wine Front 96 Points Huon Hooke Decanter Magazine 96 points
