This project from the granite soils in the northern end of the Macedon Ranges at 460m 
above sea level is an exciting addition to our activities. The vineyard was established in 
1995 and the fruit has ostensibly been “lost” interstate until new Victorian owners took over 
in spring 2021. This fragrant, stoney, gently spicy Chardonnay has delicious, subtle fruit 
complexity of lemon, mandarin and yellow plum. It is, of course, youthful and vigorous, with 
creamy texturtal mouthfeel that builds power, drive and austerity for a long finish. We first 
made Chardonnay from these 30 year old vines in 2022 and they have proven to gain 
complexity and palate weight with a few years in bottle.
