About this Wine

In 2023 we had our eye on the Mendoza and Gin -Gin clones located at the bottom of Block 5, the cooler North-Eastern slope of the Denton View Hill.

Hand-picked later in the season looking for full flavour and skin ripeness. The fruit was destemmed, wrapped up and left to do it’s thing. we gave it two months on skins this year ….just to see how far we could take it (tasting all along the way). It was then pressed to ancient barriques until bottling -unfined and unfiltered - later in the year.

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.
