This is the third vintage of Ballewindi Chardonnay that Sandro Mosele from Kooyong has produced exclusively for us, and he certainly hasn't dropped the ball. Another cracking Chardonnay that proves he is the master of Mornington. Sandro uses whole bunches and barrel fermenting before letting the wine spend 10 months in French oak. There's peach, fresh sweet hay, subtle notes of cream and honeydew melon on the nose. The palate balances ripe stone fruit flavours with hints of citrus and a creamy texture. It's delicate yet rounded, and is a leading light for modern Aussie Chardonnay.

Dromana Estate was instrumental in forging the Mornington Peninsula's reputation as one of Australia's leading wine regions. Simply put, the mission statement and philosophy of Dromana Estate is to allow the wines to reflect, as well as they can, the time and place in which they were created.

It will create wonderful body over it’s long tight spine. In time there will be added creaminess and depth, with apple pie and lemon meringue complexity growing ever more prominent.
