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

96pts Campbell Mattinson - "Straw-yellow. In the zone for flavour, texture and length. Peach, pear, grapefruit and spice notes generate excellent power but it’s the mouthfeel and overall class that really seal the deal. It’s complex at every turn but inviting and accessible too. A top example of modern Australian chardonnay."

The 2024 vintage of Toolangi Vineyard Pauls Lane Chardonnay from Yarra Valley is a true testament to the potential of this renowned wine region in Victoria. The nose is greeted with a bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, layered with subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine reveals a beautiful balance of crisp acidity and creamy texture, showcasing flavors of juicy peach, lemon curd, and a touch of hazelnut. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering note of citrus and a touch of minerality. The color is a pale golden hue, shimmering under the light. This Chardonnay is a true delicacy, and will only continue to improve with age. Enjoy now or cellar for further development.

'Wow Tangy mixed citrus peel and complex white stonefruit smelling; subtle flintiness and icy cold quartz. Amazing the mouth too: intense, long, edgy and mouth-sucking. So complex and charged with energy that descriptors elude.' (2012 Vintage) - 97/100. - Australian Financial Review, 29 Aug 2014.

The Ten Minutes by Tractor Chardonnay's have become very well known by Chardonnay lovers across the country and from beyond our shores. This 10X Chardonnay is a blend of non-estate Mornington Peninsula vineyards and is a wonderful example of the current trend in Australian Chardonnay having both structure and body. Great value.

The aspiration of Oakridge LVS -- or Local Vineyard Series -- wines is to be outstanding expressions of single vineyards within the Yarra Valley. Local Vineyard Series wines enable wine lovers to compare and contrast the power of terroir and geography in winemaking. In essence, different grape varieties thrive in different soils, and Yarra Valley terroirs and altitudes vary widely. Oakridges expertise and understanding of the region allows viticulturists and winemakers to match a particular variety with a particular site -- with marvellous results. Almost all LVS wines are cellarworthy. The Willowlake Vineyard is just outside Gladysdale in Victorias Upper Yarra Valley. Planted in 1979 at an elevation 300 metres, the cool-grown Chardonnay here ranks with the regions very best. Add the skills of leading Chardonnay exponent David Bicknell and these hand-picked grapes become wines that express their variety and origin with consummate precision and flair.
