Notes

Les Allees Du Vignoble Chablis Chadstone
There is a gentle, flowing texture and a fresh, persistent finish that makes it a pleasure to drink now, but with enough structure to reward short-term cellaring. The nose shows attractive notes of ripe plums and wild strawberries with a hint of cloves and spice. The palate displays supple red fruit flavours and soft, fine tannins. This wine has an elegant structure, silky texture and juicy acidity to give freshness and a lingering finish.
Flanders also sees a growing consumer awareness of those differences, where people are genuinely interested in the difference between say Tuerong and Merricks. “Then again, there are a lot of people that just think Mornington is Mornington and Yarra Valley is Yara Valley,” he says, noting that there is a general view of Mornington pinots being on the more fruit-rich side. With an interest in Champagne, Brian maressa pinot noir chadstone Stonier planted the first chardonnay in 1978, with pinot following in 1982, the same year Garry Crittenden established Dromana Estate. The use of concrete vessels is no experiment either- it’s a style of vessel that has been traditionally used for centuries in the Old World. We have chosen each shape specifically to enhance the texture of the varietal within them and these beautiful, hand crafted vessels will last lifetimes. Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is the perfect wine to take when you don’t know what’s for dinner.

His roots are in the Mornington Peninsula, having grown up the family vineyard there and having helped his father plant the first vines at Chandon as a teenager in 1986. Stints at Coldstream Hills under James Halliday, as well as working in France led him to Yering Station, then a celebrated stint at Mount Langi Ghiran, before settling at what was then Domaine Chandon in 2012.
The name Maressa (from the Latin "maris" meaning "of the sea"), is a nod to the noble maritime history of the Port Phillip Bay area. The wine is quite focused with fresh fruit and persistent acidity driving the palate. The earthiness is reminiscent of previous vintages, a characteristic that we now regard as a hallmark of this Burn Cottage site. The 2021 vintage brought lower than average yields and cooler conditions throughout the growing season. Fruit quality was excellent with small bunches and berries providing superb concentration of flavours, fine supple tannins and good acid balance. During a career researching and teaching neuroscience at Monash University, Nadeson founded Lethbridge Estate with his partner Maree Collis.
In the glass, this Pinot Noir is a celebration of bright red fruits—wild strawberries, cherries, and a hint of cranberry—balanced by a touch of earthy spice and silky, structured tannins. A fresh line of acidity brings energy and precision, making it a delightfully vibrant and elegant drop. Pale ruby garnet in colour with a lifted nose of ripe red and black cherries, black rose petals, a touch of pomegranate and coriander seed and cardamom spice. On the palate the red cherry dominates with subtle spice and floral lavender and rosewater notes. A delicious, long mouthful of wine, with tangy pomegranate molasses on the finish. Ripe dark cherry, plum and anise aromas mix with hints of dried herbs, earth and spicy cedar.

Dark redcurrant, wild herb, greengage and plum aromatics lead to a rich warmly textured mouthfeel showing great density, drive and length.

Stylish and seductive, the wine shows dark plum, assorted nut, thyme, cured meat and rich floral aromas on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate displaying silky flow and fleshy texture. Tannins are fine and beautifully infused, making the wine gorgeously harmonious and persistent. A blend of grapes from Bannockburn, Earnscleugh & Gibbston Vineyards.
Aromas of spiced rhubarb, juicy red cherries, Asian five spice and vanilla mingle with earthy notes and the distinct fruity spice notes of sassafras forest. It develops with spices from the whole bunch inclusion and French oak barrels. The palate is elegantly structured, offering a harmonious interplay of vibrant acidity and silky tannins. Mid-palate, the wine reveals layers of cranberry and pomegranate, complemented by a whisper of earthy minerality.

Fresh acidity and polished tannins with a long elegant red fruited finish. “A generosity of fruit that was pure and fresh without leaning into those compote profiles,” she wrote. “Juicy fresh raspberry and pomegranate, refreshing acidity and ripe tannins showcase a delightful purity of fruit. There’s some soft earthy elements and a fine-boned structure, but the beauty of this is its approachability and restraint. Such a generous mid-palate without the sweeter elements, showcasing very good judgment in picking time and handling. Unapologetically delicious.” Nadeson and Buckle had this in second place on their lists.
Mansons Farm Pinot Noir is hand crafted in very limited quantities. Our 2016 is medium ruby red in colour with a bouquet of black cherry, savoury brown spice, and notes of baronial flower. On the palate, a dense, dark berry entry and hints of spice are supported by an elegant tannin structure. Dark cherry and spice aromas integrate nicely with a hint of forest floor (sous bois).

After living and working in Tasmania making wine for a number of premium vineyards throughout the state the time has come for us to release our own wines alongside working with our existing clients. Intensely aromatic, a darker fruit spectrum and complex savoury spice is interwoven seamlessly with firm, structural tannin. Sweat and sour cherries, earth, spice and a lovely elegant structure. Picardy Pinots exhibit finesse and complexity, inspired by the great Pinot Noir wines of the old world.
The finish is long and refined, with a delicate spiciness that lingers gracefully. This Pinot Noir exemplifies the finesse and complexity characteristic of its cool-climate origin, making it a benchmark for the varietal. A full fragrant nose of juniper, rose petal, and plum meld with spice notes of cardamon and sumac. The palate concentration is exceptional, a hallmark of a small yielding year on the Martinborough Terrace.

This Pinot is deep ruby red with brilliant clarity and aromas of black cherry, cranberries, cola root, and spice. With time, more undergrowth and savage characters come to the fore. The palate has a core of red fruits and gentle oak spices that lead to a structured and generous finish.
There is no better way to describe this wine other than a quintessential Mount Mary Pinot noir. The nose opens with a hint of nougat, cranberries, stewed strawberry and quince. The palate is silky and seamless and flows effortlessly from front to back. Red fruit flavours dominate; namely cherry and strawberry with nuances of rhubarb and various root vegetables. This wine sees 20% new oak, adding a buttered mushroom creaminess to the mid palate.
