Award Winning Wines

The 2024 Single Vineyard Pinot Meunier is a captivating expression of this rare and intriguing variety, earning a Silver Medal at the Riverina Wine Show and an impressive 93 points in the Halliday Wine Companion.

Sourced from the cool-climate vineyards of Tumbarumba, this elegant wine showcases the unique personality of Pinot Meunier beyond its traditional role in Champagne production. Translucent ruby in colour with delicate purple hues, it reveals vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with subtle floral notes of rose petals and violets.

Elegant and finely textured on the palate, the wine delivers bright red fruit flavours alongside hints of cranberry and pomegranate, supported by balanced acidity and a silky, refined mouthfeel. Subtle earthy nuances of forest floor, dried leaves and minerality reflect the influence of the Tumbarumba terroir, adding complexity and depth to the wine’s delicate fruit profile. Versatile and food-friendly, this Pinot Meunier pairs beautifully with duck, roasted game birds, mushroom dishes and truffle-inspired cuisine, offering a nuanced and memorable wine experience to enjoy now or over the short term.

93 Halliday Wine Companion, Toni Paterson

"This pale-coloured, light-framed pinot meunier offers fabulously vibrant flavours nestled within a soft, bright, lemony palate. Accents of redcurrant, cranberry and sour cherry mingle with a touch of rhubarb, pimento and sage. It benefits from plenty of air to expand the mid-palate and elevate the aromas. Pair with tuna niçoise or salmon belly sashimi for maximum delight."

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."

95 Points - Halliday Wine Companion, Toni Paterson

"A golden-hued rosé with a faint pink tinge from the addition of a small amount of pinot noir table wine. Beautifully fresh and fragrant, with subtle strawberry and sherbet tones. The palate is quite rich and layered, with excellent intensity and vibrancy, and the sweeter fruit profile is balanced by a cleansing frame of acidity. A wine of integrity, beautifully made."
