From vineyard to bottle

The craft behind
the character.

The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from a single vineyard in Yarra Junction.
2023 was a vintage where a wet spring provided challenges, yet through hard work and perseverance we enjoyed a mild and kind harvest period that has produced wines of vibrancy and finesse.

91 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Delicate white peach and nectarine lead the aromas, with flickers of nougat, Meyer lemon, and almond cream providing gentle support, and a whisper of honey emerging after some air. The bouquet is quite demure, requiring a coaxing swirl to fully reveal its complexity. The palate shows a nicely creamy texture, carrying the defined fruit notes from the nose through to the taste, before a good lick of chalky phenolics frames a finish of satisfying length. There is a pleasing, grippy texture that threads through the finish, adding structure and persistence, leaving a subtle impression of refinement and tension.
Tom Kline, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, August 2025
