Chardonnay

Press Review

" Marty Edwards started his working life as an elite Navy clearance diver. He then moved from special ops to working at his family vineyard, The Lane in the Adelaide Hills, where his wines won countless awards and legions of fans. With 20 years of experience as a specialist viticulturalist, last year, Marty struck out on his own, releasing a trio of scintillating wines under his new Silver Lining label. Marty’s uses specific parcels of vines in the Hills and overlays them with the elegance and control found in the finest of European wine styles. My featured 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is as sophisticated and refreshing as any Loire superstar’s creation, and, in addition, there is a 2020 Chardonnay and 2020 Shiraz available, too. The Sauvignon has the flavour silhouette of a Pouilly-Fumé, and the Chardonnay is reminiscent of an infinitely detailed Premier Cru Chablis....Marty was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2012, and in 2018, he embarked on cutting-edge treatment, undergoing a complex deep brain stimulation operation. Marty is one of the bravest and most positive people I have ever met, and I am sure that it will not surprise you to read that sales of these terrific wines support Parkinson’s research. Marty’s determination, work ethic, and talent have driven him to new heights, and this vinous trio is a testament to his considerable efforts. "
