There are intense aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry and Christmas cherry. Also showing are hints of green peppercorn with integrated hints of char and clove from the oak. Underneath this are tones of blossoming red roses and freshly picked mushrooms.
The palate is balanced and inviting. Red fruits move into blackberry, rhubarb and juicy Valencia oranges with aromatic notes of picked red ginger.
Tannins are chamois-esc which helps give a textural sensation that is wound around the fruit and earthy notes. This wine continues to give opulence and freshness into the balanced long finish.
This wine will continue to open up with time in the glass, and would benefit from a gentle decant.

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.
