About Dawson James
Dawson James is one of the greatest examples of a cool-climate revolution happening in Tasmania, this is a project of long-time industry stalwarts Peter Dawson and Tim James.
Since their first release hit the market in 2010, they have rapidly gained a reputation as one of the top producers in Australia for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Creating just one cuvée from each varietal, simplicity has been a large part of their success.

(6x75cl) 2019Wine Advocate (96+)
The fruit for this 2019 Chardonnay was grown in the Meadowbank vineyard, in the Derwent Valley, in Tasmania. On the nose, there are crushed nuts, almond meal, fresh curry leaves and red apple skins. It is rich and full-bodied (pH of 3.25, total acidity of 7.7 grams per liter, for those interested) and exhibits a reverberation of flavor retention in the mouth after the wine has gone. It's like an echo chamber of fruit characters. The Meadowbank vineyard is widely respected in Tasmania as a high-quality fruit resource, and it is situated in the Upper Derwent Valley. Due to its positioning, the vineyard is subject to high diurnal range and very little assistance from cooling sea breezes. The cold nights lock in the natural acidity, while the warm days ripen the fruit, responsible for the voluptuousness and density that is veined by a throbbing pulse of juicy acidity. From experience, this wine holds up well alongside other Australian and international Chardonnays of acclaim, which, at $68AUD, makes it exceptionally well priced. Drink it now, or anytime in the next decade.Inc. TAX€420.07 -
Halliday Wine Companion (97)
The bouquet surges from the glass, pink and yellow grapefruit to the fore, plus a desirable flick of funky complexity on the way through. It's entering its second life with the finale years away. It barely needs saying, but the savoury acidity is its staff of life. With deluxe chardonnays at $140-plus, this is positively cheap.Inc. TAX€308.17
