Collection, Yarra Valley Chardonnay

This wine has the classic Chardonnay appeal of stone fruit and citrus with a clean finish. Barrel fermentation and maturation adds spicy oak and texture.

This wine was grown at Handpicked's two Yarra Valley vineyards - Highbow Hill in Yarra Glen, on the valley floor, and Wombat Creek at Gladysdale in the Upper Yarra Valley.

Highbow Hill is planted on rolling hills with panoramic views over the valley. The soils are sandy loam over clay and gravel over Yarra Valley mudstone.

Wombat Creek's steep slopes look north to Mount Donna Buang and at 420m it is the most elevated vineyard in the whole valley. The soils are free-draining red volcanic loams and the eponymous Wombat Creek rises in a spring-fed dam on the property.

Both vineyards are managed with increasing emphasis on sustainable management to increase biodiversity and overall vineyard health.
