Pale straw in colour with green hues. Complex and enticing aromas of preserved citrus, white fleshed stone fruit, spice, fresh picked nuts and oak all leap from the glass. The palate has a depth and volume of fruit that builds in intensity as it travels across the mid-palate. The fine acid and textural elements of the barrel fermentation interweave with the fruit to balance and complete the wine.

It didn't take much encouragement from Yarra Valley winemaker Dr John Middleton to convince TarraWarra Estate's Marc and Eva Besen to plant their first 6 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 1983. Their love of Burgundian wines also played a part. Today, the property features 28 hectares of vines, an extensive nature reserve, cattle grazing, a kitchen garden and a beautiful cellar door and restaurant. The Chardonnay was selected from seven separate blocks across the property. Great intensity with stone fruits, a touch of citrus and underlying cashew nut flavours. Creamy texture and subtle use of oak leading to a fresh, lingering finish. “Handpicked, whole bunch-pressed, 50% fermented in tank, 50% in oak of various sizes, forests and toasts, no mlf. Good mouthfeel: balance of stone fruits, apple and grapefruit, oak subtly balanced...95pts” (Halliday Wine Companion, James Halliday).

Pacha Mama has put down roots, out in the sticks, amidst the vines of Yarra Glen. This Chardonnay celebrates its Yarra Valley home. It's vibrant, yet complex. There's a bit of fruit, burnt matchsticks mingle with melon and citrus. It's all about harmony and balance.

PLEASE REPLACE THIS DESCRIPTION WITH THE REAL ONE!!!

Spicy, faintly floral aromas of stone fruit, grapefruit, lime juice and coriander are backed by matchstick-like oak and a hint of mineral. It's round and creamy, smooth and voluptuous, with a gentle, mouthfilling core of flavour and nougat-like complexity finishing with a hint of butter, gentle lemony acids and a faint smokiness. Crushed and pressed with full solids straight to oak (20% new), both primary fermentation and malolactic were natural. Elevage: 8 months on lees in oak before being racked and filtered in preparation for bottling. Hand-picked on 12th March 2018 First established in 1995, Toolangi Vineyards is located in the Yarra Valley adjoining the Toolangi State Forest.

The 2018 harvest will be remembered fondly by winemakers in the Yarra Valley. It was a rare season that gave above average yields and excellent quality fruit. Dry sunny conditions with cool overnight temperatures provided good natural acidity and concentrated wines at lower alcohol levels.

From the best block of Yarra Valley, hand-picked.
