Tasting Notes

Named after springtime, this wine is a bright and fresh expression of Chardonnay. This wine is a blend of Chardonnay from our Estate vineyards in Granton, Derwent Valley and Cradoc, Huon Valley. These two terroirs build a layered falvour profile, the richness coming from the Granton fruit meanhwile the brightness coming from the Cradoc fruit. All of the Chardonnay is matured in 100% oak with a portion of the juice filling 228L barriques and the other portion in seasoned 500L Austrian oak foudres.

About the Vineyard

We were Tasmania’s first certified biodynamic vineyard, and have been cultivating our vines using biodynamic methods since 2010. This means that our wines are free of all
synthetic treatments, additives and pesticides. Instead we travel the alternative path, stepping back in time and using cosmic rhythms to ensure soil regenereation as well as effective vine care through all phases of the year’s seasonal cycles.

These methods enhance our attention to detail in the vineyard and winery, as we are more alert to the signals of Mother Nature and her messengers. Every season, we're becoming more attuned to the synergies between our varied soil types, their organisms, the local flora and fauna, and of course our vines.

While we have a strong focus on Sparkling wines as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we love experimenting and exploring. Don't be surprised if you visit our Cellar Door to find a Malvasia or perhaps a nip of Grappa tucked away behind the tasting bench.

Derwent Valley

The Derwent Valley wine region, located to the north-west of Hobart, stretches from the lower reaches of the River Derwent at Granton to the scenic hills and valleys around Meadowbank.

The region's vineyards are perched on north-facing hillsides, which provide ideal sun exposure for grape growing. Known for its cool climate, the area primarily produces Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, echoing Tasmania’s wider wine production focus.

Although once regarded as a marginal area for viticulture due to its cooler climate, the upper reaches of the Derwent Valley have recently gained recognition for producing stunning examples of cool-climate wines, reflecting the unique terroir of the region.
