Critic reviews
Critic reviews
James Halliday – “The superb colour is no surprise, nor is the perfume and sheer elegance of the wine in the mouth. Black cherries, black peppercorns and spices have quicksilver energy and speed. It only just makes the medium-bodied scale but will live for decades thanks to its perfect balance.” – Philip Rich
Huon Hooke – “Deep and bright purple-red colour with a meaty/charcuterie, spice and raspberry aroma overlaid by a top-note of linseed oil. It’s full-bodied but not a blockbuster, intense and driving, with a sheen of drying tannins on the aftertaste. The acidity is quite lively, refreshing the finish. It’s packed full of potential.”

Oakridge Syrah Single Block 864 - Oakridge Vineyard Close Planted 2021
Vibrant purple in appearance with a ruby hue. Opulently fruited on the nose, with aroma of dragonfruit, blueberry and plum leading to notes of cassis. Elements of black olive, green pepper, bunch spice and toast add complexity. The palate is expansive, textural and concentrated with a generous core of blue and purple berried fruits, long chains of plush velvety tannins are intricately woven within the fruit providing length and supportive structure. A subtle line of acid keeps the wine on point, never wavering. Pure, succulent and refined from start to finish.

Yarra Valley Wine
The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.
Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.
Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.
Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
