Tasting Notes

Palate

A richer, fuller bodied style of chardonnay.

Vinification

The fruit was hand picked and lightly pressed to French oak pun- cheons (500 L) and amphoras. The wine then matured in oak and amphoras for 14 months on gross lees prior to bottling.

Food Matching

This style of chardonnay lends itself to classic pairings. Oysters perhaps being the most obvious one but any light seafood would pair perfectly with this wine.

Winemakers Comments

Our approach to winemaking is very simple, to craft uncompli- cated wines of purity. To do so we ultimately seek balance in our wines and utilise winemaking techniques or lack thereof that emphasise purity and expresion of fruit. We think in pursuing this philospohy, the fundamental objectives of crafting wines that reflect the environment they are grown in will take care of itself.

Region Notes

Nestled in the Maragle Valley, just 50 km north of Mount Kos- ciuszko and near the Victorian border, this vineyard is unlike any other in Tumbarumba. Sitting at 500m above sea level, it lies un- usually low for the region — but its proximity to the Snowy Moun- tains creates a remarkable diurnal range: warm days followed by sharp, cooling nights as cold mountain air rushes in at sunset. This unique microclimate — shared by only one other vineyard — produces strikingly full flavour at lower sugar levels, which is ex- actly what drew us to this site years ago. And in 2024, it delivered something special.

Expect an amalgam of lavender, lime curd, stone fruit, citrus, toffee brittle studded with roasted almonds and lots of spicy oak. It’s a little flinty and moreish, too. The palate is contained, tight and precise, even if layered ever so lightly with some nutty, savoury lees and plenty of brisk acidity, which is highly refreshing and uplifting. Decant, allowing lots of air to bring this together. Points: 95/100

This is a beautiful chardonnay. It’s highly textural, and flavoursome, and charismatic, and yet it’s all energy and drive too. Honey, cream, white peach, white flowers, mango skin, custard powder and nectarine flavours put on a show that is both fleshy and flamboyant. It’s long through the finish and meticulous at every turn, and yet throughout there’s just so much going on. Wonderful wine. Points: 95/100
