96pts Campbell Mattinson - "Straw-yellow. In the zone for flavour, texture and length. Peach, pear, grapefruit and spice notes generate excellent power but it’s the mouthfeel and overall class that really seal the deal. It’s complex at every turn but inviting and accessible too. A top example of modern Australian chardonnay."

Crafted by viticulturist and winemaker Tom Carson alongside his wife Nadège, the Autres Terres Nenagh Park Chardonnay originates from off-site fruit selected to complement Serrat's home block. Sourced from the Nenagh Park vineyard in Yarra Glen, planted in 1989 to the rare Penfolds 58 clone, the vines sit on a cool, south-east facing slope that receives gentle morning sun while shielding the grapes from harsh afternoon heat. Winemaking is tailored for clarity and structure. Whole-bunch pressing and controlled French oak maturation keep the cool-climate fruit expression central, balancing natural acidity with subtle, savoury complexity. Expect pure aromas of citrus leaf, grapefruit, and white peach complemented by a distinct flinty edge. The palate is tightly coiled, focused, and long, driven by a fine line of mineral acidity and a clean, saline finish.

A typically elegant Yarra Cabernet. The nose shows cassis and blackberry aromas with subtle cedary oak and the palate has a silky mouthfeel with sweet berry flavours and a lovely lingering finish.

Yering Station's Yarra Chardonnay displays citrus and subtle cashew notes on the nose with soft minerality and freshness. The palate has great texture and roundness with linear acidity with wonderful length and precision.
