Rooted in Gippsland’s volcanic soils and cool-climate terrain, his wines capture the freshness, balance and minerality of each site. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWith a hands-on approach and a focus on vineyard detail, Patrick believes great wine is grown, not made. From Tumblestone Farm to Bull Swamp and beyond, every vintage is a reflection of soil, season and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe 2025 season in West Gippsland (October 2024 to April 2025) turned out to be something special. Spring started drier than usual, with low October rainfall setting up clean canopies and minimal disease pressure from the outset. Temperatures rose steadily through spring and summer—no heatwaves, just consistent warmth that allowed the vines to flower, set fruit, and ripen without stress. Summer stayed relatively dry, and a particularly dry April gave us an unhurried finish to harvest that preserved the clarity and concentration of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn a region where rain often shapes the vintage, 2025 was different. The moderate, consistent heat developed excellent flavour ripeness while the dry conditions brought out natural definition and structure. The wines are expressive and finely shaped—they capture both the generosity of the vintage and the site-specific precision that West Gippsland can achieve in exceptional years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"patrick-sullivan-woori-yallock-chardonnay-woori-yallock-vic-2024","title":"Patrick Sullivan 'Woori Yallock' Chardonnay - Woori Yallock, VIC 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003ePatrick Sullivan’s Woori Yallock Chardonnay is a rare, site-specific bottling that brings his minimal-intervention ethos to the iconic Lusatia Park vineyard in the Upper Yarra. This cool, elevated site—first planted in 1985 on red basalt soils—is famed for its purity, precision, and long-line acidity. Fermented with wild yeasts in neutral oak and left untouched on lees, the wine is shaped entirely by the vineyard and vintage. It opens with aromas of lime leaf, apricot, brioche and spice, leading into a finely structured palate of lime, saline minerality and a whisper of oak, finishing with chalky texture and great length.
