2012 Ad Lib Tree Hugger No Oak Chardonnay, Pemberton, Western Australia
“No trees were harmed in the making of this wine”
A vibrant nose of lemon, grapefruit and minerality, leading to a softly textured palate with a gentle creamy mouthfeel. Background hints of nuts on the palate gives complexity and the tight acid structure results in a wine with a long, clean finish. Despite the absence of oak, the wine is complex and integrated, due to extended lees aging. This is summer in a glass – fresh, punchy and vibrant.
Winemaking: Fruit was harvested at night with crushing and de-stemming. Some skin contact was employed to extract flavour and texture from the fruit. The juice was transferred with high solids to stainless steel to settle prior to fermentation. Lees stirring and MLF were carried out in neutral oak.
Drink With: Oysters or Sashimi.

Middleton Family Wines

- Rick Middleton
- Founded:
- 1960s
- Location:
- Paso Robles and Central Coast, CA
Our family has been working the land since 1898, when we started a lumber business in Aberdeen, on the coast of Washington State. We began with lumber and forestry, and have thoughtfully and gradually expanded our family business to include table grapes, wine grapes, and wine. Today our businesses are at home in Hoquiam (Washington – next door to Aberdeen), Walla Walla (Washington), Delano (California), and Paso Robles (California).
Because we’ve had four generations in the family business, we’re interested in building things that will last, for the fifth, sixth, seventh generations, and beyond. Our wine business includes three wineries: Cadaretta (Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley), Clayhouse (Paso Robles and Central Coast), and Buried Cane (Washington State).
The Clayhouse label and brand celebrate a historic home at our estate vineyard near Paso Robles. That 150-year-old adobe structure – the Clayhouse itself – still reminds us of the time when grapes were first planted in this area. The Clayhouse, which we’ve carefully restored, is really the ideal symbol for our vineyard and winery. After all, like the adobe, our wines are created from the earth, cultivated by hand, and nurtured by family traditions.
For the Middleton family, those traditions and deep passion for agricultural businesses go back more than four generations.
Today, Clayhouse Wines extend that proud family legacy with a selection of exceptional wines, all crafted by hand in a refined, elegant style that reflects the unique character of Paso Robles and the depth of flavor that the Central Coast imparts.
