Founded by the late, great Bailey Carrodus in 1969, the estate was a pioneer of cool-climate viticulture in the Yarra Valley at a time when the idea of world-class Chardonnay from Victoria was, to put it kindly, ambitious. The 2021 Chardonnay comes from old, low-yielding vines on the estate's distinctive red volcanic soils, handled with the same restrained intelligence that defines everything made here. Partial barrel fermentation, careful use of oak, and a winemaking philosophy that trusts the vineyard over the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a Chardonnay that feels more Burgundian in spirit than antipodean in ambition: white peach, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut framed by a fine, saline tension that keeps everything taut and focused.
