Sourced from John and Josie D’Aloisio’s vineyard located high up on the hill above the township of Seville. The I10V1 clone Chardonnay was planted in 1991 on its own roots (non-grafted) and is grown on the stunningly rich red volcanic soils this subregion of the Yarra Valley is famous for.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus blossom and flint combine with a touch of roasted hazelnuts, wood smoke and a savoury, almost earthen, character.

The palate is where this wine shines! Flavours are densely packed with mixed stone fruits, lime juice and a saline/mineral core that drives it all through. The flavours linger for a good while.

This wine is a stayer and with that density of fruit at its core it should last the long haul in the cellar.
