Tasting Notes
Adrian Rodda moved to Beechworth to start his own winemaking label after spending more than a decade at Oakridge Wines in the Yarra Valley. It's safe to say that Adrian's knowledge of crafting wines from Chardonnay is up there with the best in the country, making several cuvées with fruit sourced from multiple sites across Victoria.
Florals, hibiscus, stone fruit, citrus and oak. Beautifully balanced acidity with help from green apple skin, nice minerality, kerosene notes and crisp finish.
Pair with roasted stuffed chicken, seared scallops, pasta with primavera sauce, fish and chips.

Scores
95 / 100"Light green-ish yellow colour, fresh and youthfui all round. There are lime, grapefruit and lemon aromas, all very citrusy, but enhanced with toasted cashew oak scents, the palate intense and generous, at the same time refined and tensioned with mouth-watering acidity and a long and satisfying carry. Lovely now, and will take some age well."
