Displaying classic cool climate notes of white flowers and peach, our ‘Four Clones’ Chardonnay expresses a crisp and elegant style typical of the Orange region. Nectarine-like acidity integrated with barrel ferment complexity make for a Chardonnay to be enjoyed now or to benefit short term cellaring.

VINEYARD:

The Orange region of New South Wales is one of Australia’s newest premium regions being favoured for its high altitude cool climate. Situated approximately 270 km west of Sydney the topography and soils of the Orange region are dominated by the extinct volcano Mt Canobolas. The present day peak of the mountain is at 1400m and vineyards in the region are planted at elevations as high as 1100m with the lowest elevations in the region being 600m. Soils in the central part of the region are derived from the basaltic lavas of the old volcano, and primarily consist of deep red to brown free draining clay loams.
