From the difficult 2011 vintage where it was prudent to avoid the Pinots but this Chardonnay was very good. Could have been a Premier Cru Chablis (without the oyster shell). Carefully balanced stone fruit, citrus and mineral with oak in the background. Edit: 6 hours later tried this wine in our brand new Zalto Burgundy glass which is simply amazing. Notes of struck match became apparent.

Apr 25th, 2017From the difficult 2011 vintage - worse for reds rather than whites in the Yarra Valley. This was fuller bodied than expected and quite delicious. Redolent of carefully balanced stone fruit and oak. From The recently awarded Australian Winemaker of the Year from Gourmet Traveller - Steve Flamsteed. An old Toowoomba boy! Well done Steve.
