The Vineyard Series matches specific varieties and sites to give you outstanding examples of single vineyard wines.

Bright, vivacious straw with a lime tinge to the hue. Incredibly vivid aromas of white peach, pine-lime splice and green melon burst out of the glass. There is power and generosity to the aromas, yet an underlying nod to refinement and all the best bits of modern Australian chardonnay. Flint and spice play complimentary notes to an overwhelmingly intriguing set of aromas. On the palate, there is a glass-like transfer of intense lemon/lime flavours to the palate. Glossy white peaches add volume, with grapefruit pith and chalky texture getting the salivation juices flowing. A chardonnay of gravitas and poise, all at once.

This wine was sourced from the north facing Willowlake Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Gladysdale.

A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine: handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly into 500 litre French oak puncheons for a natural fermentation followed by 14 months maturing on lees.

A cool wet spring and summer followed by a dry and temperate autumn has delivered balanced crops in near perfect harvesting conditions. The resulting wines show elegant varietal flavours, freshness, and balanced acidities.
