Description / Reviews
// From Yellingbo in the Upper Yarra Valley.
"Cane pruned Chardonnay on red volcanic soil with a Northerly aspect at 200m elevation. Whole bunch pressed then run into barrel with full solids the next day. Wild fermentation, left on lees without stirring until bottling. Fermentation and elevage in seasoned large format french oak. Only 70 dozen made, extremely limited. Estate bottled." - Wanderer, Winemaker
"A single-vineyard wine from Yellingbo in the Upper Yarra, barrel-fermented and matured in older French puncheons. Subtle aromas of nectarine, pink grapefruit and lemon curd. Beautifully balanced on a pure-fruited, delicate, chalky-textured and saline palate. Finishes nutty and long. Drink now and over the next four to five years." - 95+ Points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
"Put this away for a while and you’ll be rewarded. It’s powerful but reticent, and it really needs a spell. It tastes of preserved lemons and nectarines, wax, saltbush and white peach, and it builds beautifully as it progresses through the palate. In fact for all intents, as a young wine, it’s immaculate." - 94 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
