Sourced from a small 0.21 hectare parcel of old vines, Blain-Gagnard's Criots-Batard-Montrachet displays a beguiling bouquet of citrus, stone-fruit and white flowers that carries through to the palate revealing ever-more layers with time in the glass.

Eden Rift Reserve Chardonnay A selection of four barrels were chosen for the Reserve Chardonnay, all from Eden Rift estates Block A. Fruit was handpicked, whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented before several months on lees. The result is a wine of mineral-clad tension, with stone fruit allusions, toasted hazelnut, vanilla and a creamy plume across the persistent finish.

Hand Picked Gin Gin clone, the balance of fruit, oak, acidity is so immaculate it is a pointless exercise to try to deconstruct their contributions. However the white peach and pink grapefruit flavours are as clear as a bell on the back palate and aftertaste, the finish fresh and clean. Masterful winemaking

Very restrained but attractive nose with ripe varietal fruit, citrus and melon, also plenty of crème brulee and almond meal. A beautiful chardonnay that will benefit from time in cellar to unwind.

Yarra Yering, well known for their pristine and elegant red wines, also make one of the Yarra Valley's premier Chardonnays. Made solely from the original 1969 plantings, the Yarra Yering Chardonnay is fermented traditionally in open top fermenters and crafted to age in bottle for extended periods. The wine goes through 100% malolactic fermentation which adds complexity and roundness without foregoing natural acidity and structure. Aged in 40% new French oak, this classic white wine combines intense opulence with finesse & textural flintiness.

Kumeu River Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay is named in honour Maté Barjkovich after he reworked a unique parcel of land in 1990 which was planted to Chardonnay. The resulting wines today are a pure balance between texture and purity. Lifted notes of pear and citrus are complimented by creamy mouthfeel and balanced acid. A fantastic example of a modern new world style.

From the famed premier cru site of Cote de Lechet, this boasts an ultra elegant nose of citrus zest blossom, oyster shell, warm stone and lemon zest. A fantastic old school style of Chablis that also offers fantastic value for money for a wine at this quality level.

Hunting Hill is situated on the hillside just opposite the winery and produces beautifully floral and perfumed Chardonnay with a distinctly liner and long palate.
