About this Wine

Sourced from a mature vineyard in Gladysdale, nestled in the Upper Yarra at 250 metres elevation. The steep, volcanic red soils promote slow ripening and naturally high acidity—ideal conditions for Chardonnay. The 2024 vintage brought balanced yields thanks to improved fruit set, followed by a mild, even summer. Free from heat extremes, the long ripening season delivered fruit with exceptional flavour concentration, freshness, and drive—a hallmark year for the region.

The hand-harvested fruit was whole-bunch pressed directly to French oak for fermentation, using a mix of barriques (228L) and puncheons (500L), with 25% new oak lending subtle spice and structure. Around 30% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation to build softness and mouthfeel. Lees were stirred through the early months for added body and texture. After nine months in oak, the wine spent a further two months in tank to settle naturally before bottling.

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.
