There's a very special southerly facing block at TarraWarra, which was planted to the auspicious Mendoza clone from cuttings off the illustrious Leeuwin Estate vineyards in Margaret River. There are few harvests like it in Yarra Valley, treated to a gentle whole bunch press into French oak barrels for a wild yeast ferment and ten months of age. Defined by its creamy grapefruit curd richness, intensity of flavour and magnificent length, Yarra Valley Chardonnay which bridges the gap between well fleshed fruit and crisp savouryness, moreish at the finish on a lingering note of frangipane and spice.
