Since the early 90's, Penfolds have been producing Chardonnay from the cool climate region of Tumbarumba. The Chardonnay is elegant with white florals, stone fruits and a great acidity structure. Maturation in French Oak gives the Bin 311 a subtle nutty savoury flavour through and through. A great all season wine for all sorts of occasions.

Yalumba is the leading Viognier producer in Australia, with Virgilius as a flagship. Aromas of stone fruit and cashew are balanced by a minerally edge and a palate with superb depth and complexity.

Former Gourmet Traveller WINE Viticulturist of the Year, the Chalmers family is renowned as Australia's key pioneer with so-called "alternative varieties", as grapevine importers, growers and cheerleaders of so many Mediterranean grapes that are enjoying great demand nowadays. In 2017 Chalmers once again sourced the grapes for their rosato from the highest altitude, most prized block at their Heathcote site. For the first time, though, all three of the varieties planted there made it into this unique blend. Aglianico (63%), Sagrantino (33%) and Nero d'Avola (4%) were hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, and vinified separately.

Heathcote Estate, located in the historic Heathcote region of Australia, is known for producing exceptional wines, particularly their renowned Heathcote Shiraz. Established in 1999, the vineyard is situated on ancient Cambrian soils that contribute to the unique characteristics of their wines. Led by winemaker Tom Carson, the estate focuses on crafting wines that reflect the distinct qualities of the region and their own site. They are dedicated to organic practices and have received certification for their commitment. Heathcote Estate primarily produces single vineyard and 'single block release' shiraz, with plans to release a small-batch Nebbiolo wine in the future. The Heathcote Estate Shiraz 2020 is a distinct and exceptional wine originating from the vineyard owned by the family in Drummonds Lane, situated in the renowned wine region of Heathcote, Central Victoria. The vineyard's unique character comes from carefully selected sections planted on 500 million-year-old Cambrian soil. The 2020 vintage was exceptional, resulting in a classic Heathcote Estate Shiraz with remarkable intensity and extract. The wine is known for its concentration, structure, lifted perfume, layers of flavour and a long, seamless finish. Packaged in a gift box, it is an ideal gift for wine enthusiasts and can age gracefully for up to 10 years with proper cellaring. Characterised by its remarkable concentration, this intense and structured wine has lifted perfume, layers of flavour, dark fruits, spice and a long, seamless, persistent finish. Cellared carefully, this wine will age gracefully for 10 years.

This wonderful Chardonnay displays an intense bouquet of complex white peach, citrus fruit and minerally undertones. The palate is long, clean and elegant.

Domaine Asmara, located in the heart of central Victoria where the Cambrian rich soil dominates the Heathcote wine region, showcases the very best of modern Australian Shiraz. They produce wines just like this Reserve Shiraz that is both complex and flavoursome. 'Asmara' translated from Indonesian to means 'Love & Passion' - a character than is intrinsic in this boutique Shiraz.

ark Richardson, red specialist at Tyrrell’s calls Heathcote “undoubtedly Australia’s most exciting new red wine producing region.” Buying up vineyards here was the brainchild of Bruce Tyrrell – and it has yielded a red that wins huge numbers of loyal fans every year.

Previously labeled Graillot Project Syrah No. 2, the 2016 vintage was the last vintage of this wine to be bottled under the Graillot labelling. In Robs words, we have been working very hard on the viticulture of the Heathcote site for a long time now and we have been organic for the last few years. We have agreed to begin the certification process before the next harvest. As a result of this, and other farming practices that have been implemented, we believe that we have seen some significant improvement in the fruit and the expression of place and we all therefore feel, (myself, Max and Alain Graillot), that the time is right to emphasise the vineyard and region over the makers. The Graillots will continue with their involvement as before. Further, with the wines (from 2018) now made at Place of Changing Winds, the two Heathcote Syrah wines can now be seen as part of the Place of Changing Winds family. This is also reflected on the back label. In most other respects, the song remains the same. All the fruit is hand harvested and the 2017 was blended from spontaneous 100% whole bunch ferments. This 2017 was raised by Luke Lambert, mostly large format, neutral oak (predominantly Stockinger) and no sulphur used through the ageing. As always, the winemaking is extremely simple. 2017 needs little introduction, so lets just say that this vintage gave exceptionally pure, balanced fruit, which we think is borne out in the quality of this release.

Gary Farr is still one of Victoria's true Chardonnay maestro's and his Chardonnay By Farr is another example. Taken from the original By Farr vineyard, this is a clearly a wine of true clarity and finesse. Flavours of melon and hints of spice with wonderful oak integration mean this wine is simply delicious upon release, but handle some careful medium-term cellaring.
