The Wine Front – White flowers, aniseed and ginger, stone fruit. It’s light, fresh in acidity, but has golden beeswax and cornflakes, and stonefruit flavour, a light but sure grainy/dusty texture, plenty of spice and perfume, and a crisp finish of excellent length and nutty complexity. Really like this. 94 points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front November 2021
Huon Hooke – Light to middling bright yellow colour and the aroma is shy and reserved, faintly spicy and nutty, with a trace of cinnamon, while the palate is restrained and delicate, refined and subtle, with underlying complexity that is just starting to emerge. The finish and aftertaste are refreshing, dry and crisp. A very fine wine which will reward cellaring. 93 points. Huon Hooke, The Real Review December 2021
About This Wine
Marsanne 64%, Roussanne 36%. Our 2019 white blend is a wine of subtlety,
nuance and savoury complexity. Initially demure, the nose offers savoury, quince
and herbal notes, almond, delicate jasmine and honeysuckle florals. With time in the
glass, aromas evolve towards spiced pear, honeydew, lanolin and white pepper. The
palate starts with lively, deeply savoury citrus and quince notes, a midpalate that’s
an almost contradictory combination of limpid and delicately textural pear skin notes
with a generously unctuous sense of breadth and richness, before closing with elegance, finesse and driving length. This is a food wine, and one we’ll watch keenly over the next 8-10 years.– Sandra de Pury

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.
