The Philip Shaw No.11 Chardonnay is produced from high altitude vineyards in a region firmly claiming its rightful place at the table of great Chardonnay regions, Orange of NSW.
No11 Chardonnay is named in reference to the original block that the grapes used to make this wine came from, block 11. More recently blocks 6 and 12, have been dominate in this wine.
The vintage 2023 experienced a delayed start, with a cool and wet spring and consistent warmer weather during the end of summer. A lot of effort has then been put into managing the crop and dealing with a mild wet Autumn to deliver ripe and healthy grapes into the winery.
