Produced from the ‘Fence Block’ planted in 1981 by the Tinkler family. This chardonnay was fermented in barrel with a mix of wild and cultured yeast, before being left to mature for 6 months in a mix of new and used French Oak. The wine shows characters of ripe melon and lemon, with a hint of French oak and complexity.

Hand Waxed and numbered by batch. A true example of boutique, premium Hunter Valley Chardonnay.

Drink Now & Cellaring for 6+ Years.

We have planted, grafted and replaced Pinot Noir vines for many years. As such, the vineyard looks something like the ‘Devil’s Kitchen’ – a true mix of character and complexity.

Hand picked and 100% destemmed for whole berry fermentation. The fruit was hand plunged twice a day before being pressed off at the end of ferment. The wine underwent MLF & lees aging in 1 to 3-year old French oak and was barrel aged for 8 months.

A blend of 98% Viognier and 2% Muscat, whole bunch fermented with twice-daily foot stomping to extract flavour from grape skins and stems. The fruit was pressed into old French barrels previously used for our Chardonnay and matured for 3 months. This resulted in a wine orange in colour with flavours of ripe yellow peach, apricot, and watercress.
