The Yarra Valley Range showcases the best of our vineyard selections, with an emphasis on Upper Yarra Valley sites.

Pale straw and vivid yellow/green hues. Aromas of fresh-cut citrus, lemon, and lime, complemented by a floral lift that leaps out of the glass. Mineral whiffs of flint and baking spice add complexity and intrigue. Bright and exuberant citrus and grapefruit flavors are on display from first sip, with a generous and glossy mouthfeel of stone fruit origins to follow. A precise acid line drives depth and length, accompanied by crunchy phenolics, which aid in delivering a refined and refreshing chardonnay true to the Yarra Valley and Oakridge style.

Selection for this Chardonnay focused on premium fruit from the cool slopes of the Upper Yarra Valley, Gladysdale (Willowlake) and Wandin East (Barkala), with a touch of estate fruit from Coldstream.

A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly to 500 litre French oak puncheons for natural fermentation followed by a 9-month maturation on lees.

A vintage defined by cool, wet conditions, low crops and harvesting late into autumn. The resulting wines have great depth of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities.
