Barrel Selection Chardonnay 2024
Citrus, white stone fruit and cashew. Vibrant, perfumed and beautifully composed. In 2024, the Yarra Valley experienced two distinct seasons — a cool, wet start followed by warm, dry ripening conditions that produced wines of purity, texture and drive. Only three barrels were selected for this small-batch release, harvested from both old I10V1 and young Mendoza clones on our Napoleone Vineyard.
Fermentation took place naturally in French oak puncheons (33% new), with early lees stirring and partial malolactic conversion to build texture and complexity. The result is a finely detailed Chardonnay that captures the energy and character of an exceptional Yarra Valley vintage.

Halliday Wine Companion
“A vibrant green gold. A complex bouquet of stone fruits, freshly sliced pear and acacia honey. Even better on the palate, which is saline and intense without being heavy. Finishes long. A promising wine that will age nicely over the next four to six years.”
