Jayden Ong working with some very fine Chardonnay from the upper Yarra Valley.

A vintage defined by cool, wet conditions, low crops and harvesting late into autumn. The resulting wines have great depth of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities. A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine - whole berry bunch fermentation in open vessels for two weeks followed by a 10 month maturation in French oak.

Crafted by viticulturist and winemaker Tom Carson alongside his wife Nadège, the Autres Terres Nenagh Park Chardonnay originates from off-site fruit selected to complement Serrat's home block. Sourced from the Nenagh Park vineyard in Yarra Glen, planted in 1989 to the rare Penfolds 58 clone, the vines sit on a cool, south-east facing slope that receives gentle morning sun while shielding the grapes from harsh afternoon heat. Winemaking is tailored for clarity and structure. Whole-bunch pressing and controlled French oak maturation keep the cool-climate fruit expression central, balancing natural acidity with subtle, savoury complexity. Expect pure aromas of citrus leaf, grapefruit, and white peach complemented by a distinct flinty edge. The palate is tightly coiled, focused, and long, driven by a fine line of mineral acidity and a clean, saline finish.

The cool slopes of the Tamar Valley region, located in northern Tasmania, have the potential to produce great sparkling wine. This richly flavoured cuvée made from Chardonnay and Pinot noir by Pirie boasts complexity from barrel-aged base wine and reserve blending. It displays the impact of terroir and the favourable interaction of climate and soil on these vines.

Straw/light gold with fine, persistent bead; floral and honeycomb notes with long, minerally finish. One of Australia's best sparklers for quality and value.
