Made from multiple parcels of Chardonnay clones B95, B96, UCD15 and Mendoza planted on the more heavy yet stony soils within the Gimblett Gravels vineyard, each parcel contributes a unique character to the wine. 

The Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay is made using very traditional winemaking techniques involving wild yeasts and the use of French oak barriques. The resulting wine is always finely flavoured and softly textured with a linear elegance that allows the wine to retain its freshness.

The quality and execution of this Syrah at this price point is exceptional value. Concentrated aromas of dark fruits and wild lavender, a generous depth and silky texture with just the right amount of peppery spice.
