Made only in years when we feel there is an outstanding parcel we would like to keep separate, 2015 is the third time we have made a MDB Chardonnay. Once the primary ferment is complete for all Chardonnay wines, we do not rack or move the wine for 11 months. This means each barrel is unique and allows us to refine our selections to decide what will make up the Reserve, Estate and potentially an MDB wine. In making this wine we are looking for a true reflection of a particular site on the property, as well as a wine that will age well for at least 10 years.

Aromas of citrus fruits, cashews and white flowers reflect the season, the palate balanced between finesse, length and creamy texture. The acid line drives through with a persistent and long finish.

These three Rhone Valley varieties have a strong heritage in the Yarra Valley and our two rows of each consistently yield beautiful fruit. The combination of the three varieties builds a wine with lifted honeysuckle and white flower perfume, fine acidity, great texture and length. The overall effect is a savoury wine that is ideal with a range of food types.

A wild barrel ferment has resulted in a very restrained, inviting aroma of lime and fig with a subtle nutty character. The flavour profile continues this theme, and the 2021 version of South Block is one of great balance and harmony.

An unusual fusion of Adelaide Hills & Clare Valley resulting in an intensely flavoured, complex yet elegant wine with distinct citrus, white peach & nectarine characters along with a subtle flinty note.

An elegant Chardonnay made with just a little oak to compliment and show case the fresh fruity flavours

The lingering finish of Te Mata Estate Chardonnay is fine and dry, marrying the wine’s fresh fruit acidity with just a flick of salinity – the lasting perfume of a perfect Hawke’s Bay summer.

It’s Pinot like this that makes you reach for the duck - a Chinese roast duck

True Pinot lovers will go wild at the smell of this

More open, enticing and expressive at first approach. Laser-like in its precision. A wine of energy and focus with tropical notes and mouthwatering acidity. Crisp pear, green apple, chamomile and jicama. Saline and fresh, displaying its pure essence without malolactic fermentation and devoid of new oak. Speaks of the sites on our property that attain full ripeness, but never lose their electricity. Tense, electric and satisfying. Full of energy. Almost vibrating.

Even with cards held tight, it displays white peach, lemon zest, white flowers and loquats. Hints of white truffle, lavender and fresh herbed chevre. With air, new aromatics: fresh baked croissant, almond flour and kumquat. Pure, compact and driving; tense and full of kinetic energy. Showing the seemingly endless sunlight and perfect growing conditions of 2018. Lifted and framed by classic Hilt sea salt and electricity on the finish along with touch of structure that is reminiscent today of an Asian pear.
