Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

The first crop of vines were planted at Mitchelton in 1969, and the winery named after the historic explorer Major Thomas Mitchell.

The plans for the winery, cellar door and tower were drawn by Robin Boyd CBE, one of the country’s most renowned architects. Following Boyd’s death in 1971, the equally admired Australian architect Ted Ashton completed the design.

After Mitchelton opened in 1974, the 55-metre tower soon became a recognised icon of the Victorian winemaking landscape.

More recently, Mitchelton continued its partnership with leading architects by engaging the practice of Hecker Guthrie to design a new cellar door and 54-room hotel. The impressive result borrows from the existing architecture’s modern lines, rustic textures and sculptural forms, making it a natural fit in both the built and natural environment.
