      Coal River Valley Chardonnay with quiet precision and depth. The 2024 release from winemaker Samantha Connew balances fruit generosity with a fine saline edge, reflecting both her meticulous craft and the strength of the vintage. Fruit is sourced from the Coal River Valley, including Connew’s south-facing Chardonnay block planted in 2017, as well as trusted growers in the Upper Derwent and Richmond.

      Hand-picked fruit was whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented in French oak puncheons, 20% new, with full malolactic fermentation but no lees stirring. The wine then spent eight months in barrel before settling in tank and bottling. The result is a Chardonnay that layers stone fruit and citrus brightness with subtle oak complexity, finishing long and mineral.

      Stargazer Chardonnay 2024
      Stargazer

      Stargazer is the creation of winemaker and wine judge Samantha Connew, whose career has taken her from New Zealand’s South Island to the heart of Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. After more than two decades in wine, including time as a senior winemaker and show judge, Samantha established Stargazer to express her deep connection to place and her fascination with the land and skies of southern Tasmania.

      Guided by both curiosity and precision, she crafts wines that reflect the balance between science and nature, structure and beauty. Since taking over the vineyard in 2016, Samantha has expanded the plantings, introducing new clones of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and small parcels of Gamay and other aromatic varieties. Each release is a study in elegance, focus, and quiet intensity.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Citrus & stonefruit

      Aromas of lemon peel and white peach, with oak notes of cashew, custard and vanilla bean, alongside flinty minerality.

      PALATE
      Balanced & textural

      Generous peach and stonefruit flavours supported by cashew and pastry tones, lifted by a subtle saline drive.

      FINISH
      Fresh & persistent

      Bright acidity carries stonefruit, almonds, flint and a touch of brininess through a long finish.
