Regular price $50.00

Tax included.

Another fine example of the wine that can be made from the cold climate region of Tumbarumba. We have been making Chardonnay from this region for over 30 years.

Aromas are delicate and refined, featuring notes of green apple, citrus, and pear, with a subtle mineral undertone. The cool climate of Tumbarumba enhances the retention of natural acidity, providing a zesty backdrop to the aromatics.

The French oak fermentation and aging impart a creamy, buttery texture, along with nuances of vanilla, toasted nuts, and a touch of spice. This combination of flavours creates a well-balanced and complex profile.

Awards & Reviews          

96 Points - Halliday Wine Companion by Toni Paterson

" A spectacularly impressive, detailed single-vineyard chardonnay with waxy green almond and flinty notes overlaying a core of textured, expansive, citrusy fruit. The steely core of acidity draws you in and commands your attention. It is wildly complex, mesmerising and utterly gorgeous. Serve in a large glass to allow the layers to expand and grow. A light chill is all that's required. Incredible quality for the price."

93 Points - The Real Review by Aaron Brasher

"Complex and lifted aromas of struck match, grapefruit pith, just-ripe white stone fruit and a nutty mealiness. There's lovey drive and poise here, with citrus, nectarine, oak and lively acidity all working very nicely together. Long, textured and with real presence."

 96 Points - Wine Pilot by Shanteh Wale

"A sultry sulfite note opens swiftly making way for sparkler dust on lemon cream icing. There is pomelo and candied lemon skin, nectarines and white peach. Zesty with linear and laser focused acidity that feels well embedded into the body of the wine, not forced but innate. A stony, pumice like minerality and a spray of tea rose florals. This is the kind of energetic Tumbarumba and modern Australian chardonnay that you could drink everyday. This will also age slowly and continue to show you more detail over the next 5-8 years. A wondrous wine. Pair with salt and pepper squid or a Fritto Misto di Mare platter."

Andre & Lilly were perfect host, after a perfect tasting we were taken to the cellar to see see how everything is created. The smells in the cellar room alone were amazing well worth the experience. 5 stars.
