About this Wine

Pale straw-green with a super-fine bead. This is very composed and complex the 6 years on lees producing an array of different notes some related to fruit others to that extended lees ageing. Sourdough crust buttery pastry green apples toast candied peel white pepper and lime leaf all vie for attention. The palate reflects these flavours but also reveals stone fruit notes and a green apple crunchiness. The finish dry and savoury the lemon-citrus acidity teasing out the length. A complex refined wine that has depth of flavour weight texture and above all freshness.

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.

Critic reviews

James Halliday – Just over five years on lees before being disgorged and with six months on cork before being released. 4.5g/L dosage. A very bright green gold. A complex amalgam of stone fruits baked apples and brioche. Fine boned and very even on the palate. Already a delight to drink this will still be looking good five years from now. -Philip Rich
