About this Wine

Summary: Wild Folk - the natural choice in wine - are pure expressions of the variety and the vineyard. Minimal intervention in the winery ensures a joyful glass of just what mother nature intended. Wild yeast fermented, no additions, vegan Friendly, preservative free, unfined and unfiltered nothing but fermented grapes at their finest.

Winemaking: A less is more regime in the vineyard and the winery has resulted in a fresher more uncompromising wine stylistically. The 2022 is crushed and hard pressed, then wild fermented on oak with full solids. Stirred fortnightly until bottling in July.

Tasting Note: Yarra chardonnay goes natural thanks to great quality fruit and integrated older oak. Vibrant nose with citrus, apple and biscuit notes complemented by subtle cashew and grilled nuts. A creamy palate showing good length and lovely line with crisp acidity. A great expression of modern Yarra Valley Chardonnay that tows the line between linear and lithe. Pair with a classic roast chicken.

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.
