Farm and Vineyard sits on the ancient mountain derived soils of the Gruyere sub-region in the heart of the Yarra Valley. The 150 hectare property was planted to 12.3 hectares of vines in 2000, with blocks ranging from 130 to 208m altitude. The six blocks were specifically chosen to suit each variety planted; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Aspect, soil type and sun exposure are all maximised to produce wines of exceptional poise, balance and character.
"Almond-meal and subtle reduction on the bouquet; a big, rich, full-volume palate with weight and power, richness from oak and tannins adding to the density of fruit. A full-bodied, gutsy chardonnay which also has grace and style." 92pts | Huon Hooke | The Real Review
"Hand picked and whole-bunch pressed to puncheons, hogsheads and barriques (28% new) with partial mlf. A bright green gold. Finely tuned and restrained with aromas of just-ripened stone fruits, Meyer lemon and yellow grapefruit. The palate is gently fleshy, concentrated, tensile and very well balanced. I like, too, the touch of grip on the finish, auguring well for its future potential. Worth seeking out." 96pts | Phillip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion
