Made only in years when we feel there is an outstanding parcel we would like to keep separate, 2015 is the third time we have made a MDB Chardonnay. Once the primary ferment is complete for all Chardonnay wines, we do not rack or move the wine for 11 months. This means each barrel is unique and allows us to refine our selections to decide what will make up the Reserve, Estate and potentially an MDB wine. In making this wine we are looking for a true reflection of a particular site on the property, as well as a wine that will age well for at least 10 years.

Aromas of citrus fruits, cashews and white flowers reflect the season, the palate balanced between finesse, length and creamy texture. The acid line drives through with a persistent and long finish.

Aromas of white stone fruits reflect the warmer year, the palate balanced between finesse, length and creamy texture. The acid line drives through with a persistent and long finish.

These three Rhone Valley varieties have a strong heritage in the Yarra Valley and our two rows of each consistently yield beautiful fruit. The combination of the three varieties builds a wine with lifted honeysuckle and white flower perfume, fine acidity, great texture and length. The overall effect is a savoury wine that is ideal with a range of food types.

A wild barrel ferment has resulted in a very restrained, inviting aroma of lime and fig with a subtle nutty character. The flavour profile continues this theme, and the 2021 version of South Block is one of great balance and harmony.

Tatsumi Gin has woody, hints of pine, scent of citrus, fragrant (fruity like the Ginfo-Sake).

In the palate of juniper berry, very pleasant spicy, aftertaste laden with complexity and richness, conferred by the basic spirits.

Citrus and almond gin sour.

Inky black colour with a narrow purple rim. The nose is built on a sturdy foundation of rich and potent blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry aromas interlaced with notes of apricot and plum. Hints of cedar wood, gumcistus and violet provide the exotic scented dimension which is the hallmark of Vargellas followed Vintage Ports. On the palate the first impression is supple and restrained but the finish reveals a tightly knit fabric of sinewy tannin and unleashes a powerful surge of rich black fruit flavour.
