The aromas of pineapple, white peach, nectarines and melon start the senses. On the palate you will also taste rockmelon, white peach and tropical fruits. This wine has a long length of flavour and a creamy mouth feel, finishing with elegant acidity.

Little bit of old school Vs new school Chardonnay here. Chardonnay that tastes like Chardonnay. Nice and textured with generosity while still being fresh. A ripping acid line that brings it all together. This is a Tuesday night in a glass kind of Chardonnay, did someone say Nannas roast chicken?

Troy Payten and Ben Jones are making wines with soul & personality out of the Yarra Valley. They have a tremendous passion for wine, something that can be found in every glass of their wines. Fruit comes from Tarrawarra and is handled with all the classic chardonnay techniques. Oak maturation, malolactic fermentation and long lees contact. The result is a flinty style with notes of toast and whipped cream. Yum!

Excellent value Chardonnay from one of the country's best handlers of the variety.

This single-vineyard wine represents our first steps in exploring the clonal possibilities for extending and enhancing the future prospects for continued premium Chardonnay production on the Yarra Valley floor in a warming climate. Incorporating a lead from the historic practice of the warm region southern Rhône Valley whereby complementary companion varieties are blended together to provide further structure, harmony and complexity, we have incorporated a small percentage of Grenache Blanc in this first point of our learning curve. The wine walks a measured line between tension and weight, sinew and silk. Aromas of white nectarine, Makrut leaf, lime marmalade, nashi pear, jasmine bud, pyrethrum daisy, creamed macadamia and marzipan abound. The palate walks a fine line of tautness and relief, featuring grapefruit pith, lemon thyme, nougat and Artemesia, Weighted and moreish tactile phenolics help draw the palate to a long finish.

Chardonnay - Golden straw with distinct green tinges. Aromas of lifted peach, melon and grapefruit. An array of other fruit flavours is complemented by toasty characters. The finish is crisp and lingering.

A deep straw colour with a depth of promise that builds the anticipation. The wine is young and as such rightly shy and reticent. A bouquet of banana skin and melon in line with a generous ripening season. Wisps of citrus and biscuit, indications of length and structure. The palate is rich and generous. There is a wild puppy-like character to this wine with it’s youthful exuberance and cheekiness, aspects that will soften with age and time left alone to contemplate it’s future. 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. Drink it now if you must, or wait and open your first bottle in 2-3 years where your greatest regret will have been not buying more. Enjoy it now as a weighty aperitif or drink with robust white meats and even curries in the years to come. Best enjoyed with close dear friends. Drink now to 8 years but certainly longer!
