Our Chardonnay is making a splash!
Our 2023 Chardonnay Single Vineyard is turning heads, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s been chosen by renowned wine critic Nick Ryan for The Australian’s prestigious Top 100 Wines of 2024. Landing a spot in the highly sought-after 20 Whites Under $35 category. This recognition not only highlights the quality of our Chardonnay but also its exceptional value.
But wait, there’s more! 😉 Our 2023 Chardonnay has also secured a place in the Best Wines of 2024 mixed dozen, standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the year’s finest wines.
The Journey Behind the Bottle
For us, this recognition is the result of years of hard work, dedication, and a deep commitment to crafting wines that truly reflect our vineyard’s unique character whilst offering incredible value to you, our supporters.
Nick Ryan, Senior Wine Writer for The Australian, known for his discerning palate, had this to say about our 2023 Chardonnay.
“Jane Richards and Claire Davies, sisters with four kids each, one day decided free time was an easily discarded commodity, so they bought a big vineyard in Wrattonbully, South Australia, near where they grew up, and established a wine label while they were at it. It’s a testament to their skill, hard work and manageable madness that they can produce wines as good as this. Bright deftly shaped and flavour packed.”
