From the same vineyard as the Gippsland Chardonnay; guided through the winery to show maximum regional expression, has dark fruits and savoury finish. The fruit is sourced from our own vineyard in Gippsland. We travel down to Gippsland once a week to tend the vines. The wine is destemmed without crushing and left on skins for 25 days. We use a mixture of natural and cultured yeast to achieve a balance between fruit and complexity. The wine is bottled without filtration or fining.
"The Gippsland offering usually has a bit more oomph than the Yarra, and I suspect may be more popular as a result. I kind of prefer the delicacy of the Yarra, but I’m a sensitive sort of fellow. Cherry and spice, a little sweet earthiness, and a pleasing amount of fragrance. Medium-bodied, cherry and raspberry, fine dense powdery tannin, a gentle sort of succulence and long fleshy finish. Really good." 92 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, November 2021, Drink: 2022 - 2026+
