Swell Season Chardonnay
The lifted pretty aromatics give way to similar vibrant spice on the palate. There is plenty of lush generous fruit alongside juicy red cherries, supported by clove, nutmeg and five spice. Soft velvet like tannins work with the bright acid to contribute to a sustained length of flavour.
Buoyed by bright acidity and spice fragrance this is a very compelling release with finely coating tannins that extend the full length of the palate. The 2021 is an exciting wine to cellar as les allees du vignoble chablis chadstone time will allow the more beguiling aromatic side to reveal itself to the full. This wine is a composition of sections of the original 1988 planting and the 2001 Kaye vineyard.
A bright, fresh, racy version, showing pomegranate and blood orange fruit laced with a mouthwatering mineral edge, with light savory and sanguine hints adding range on the finish. Might be on the skinny side for some, but this is balanced and persistent. A blend of clones and a warm year have combined to produce a juicy, generous wine with lots of fruit intensity- plum, cherry and blackberry. There is plenty of body and length with a crunchy acidity and a spicy oak touch. This is incredibly fresh and vivid with orange peel, orange blossoms, cherries and hints of rose stem. Medium-bodied with a sleek and racy palate of creamy, fine tannins and a energetic length and purity.
The name Maressa (from the Latin "maris" meaning "of the sea"), is a nod to the noble maritime history of the Port Phillip Bay area. The wine is quite focused with fresh fruit and persistent acidity driving the palate. The earthiness is reminiscent of previous vintages, a characteristic that we now regard as a hallmark of this Burn Cottage site. The 2021 vintage brought lower than average yields and cooler conditions throughout the growing season. Fruit quality was excellent with small bunches and berries providing superb concentration of flavours, fine supple tannins and good acid balance. During a career researching and teaching neuroscience at Monash University, Nadeson founded Lethbridge Estate with his partner Maree Collis.

Dark redcurrant, wild herb, greengage and plum aromatics lead to a rich warmly textured mouthfeel showing great density, drive and length. Wine More Cellars was established in 2019 and is committed to providing a high-quality service and range of products for our customers. With a specialty in European (especially French and Italian) wines as well as the great Australian producers, we also love discovering those hard to get, small batch producers who strive for excellence.
Stylish and seductive, the wine shows dark plum, assorted nut, thyme, cured meat and rich floral aromas on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate displaying silky flow and fleshy texture. Tannins are fine and beautifully infused, making the wine gorgeously harmonious and persistent. A blend of grapes from Bannockburn, Earnscleugh & Gibbston Vineyards.
Fabiens vinification for this wine is all about capturing finesse fragrance and purity and he has succeeded brilliantly. The Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir is based upon declassified grapes from the Original Vineyard planted in 1988 and grapes from the new Block K, planted in 2001. The ideal of this wine is to produce a delicious, perfumed, spicy harmonious, textured wine that is not as intense, complex nor ageworthy as our individual vineyard wines. Even when the outstanding Block K vines are older we will continue to declassify sections or barrels from each vineyard and produce this wine.
Mid garnet in colour with a nose of strawberry and red cherry fruit with a hint of rose petal perfume and orange zest. Juicy and fresh on the palate with bright red and black cherry, a touch of spice, tangy blood orange acidity and silky tannins. Pale garnet in colour with a fragrant nose of red cherry, macerated strawberries, red and yellow rose petals and a touch of fresh thyme.
Pops of pretty raspberry and strawberry to start, before descending into red currant, stemmy, twiggy spice and a glimmer of liquorice root. Quite enticing and complex aromatically, with its melding of red fruit, spice and earthiness. The palate has a cooling mouthfeel, wrapping around macerated strawberry, red cherry, red currant, nutmeg and tilled earth, all gliding through the palate. The tannins are svelte and sappy, working with bright acid to a cool and even length.
The tannins and acid work in harmony to give this wine structure, length and freshness. Strawberry and red cherry, a little paprika and earth, but kind of rosy too. It’s medium-bodied, red fruits with a pleasing gentle graphite tannin grip, some pomegranate tang and orange zest, with a sappy finish offering good length. A wine of distinct personality that offers plenty of drinking pleasure.
He also managed to squeeze in a winemaking degree in his spare time. Since 2003, Nadeson has been focused solely on the estate, farming with biodynamic principles and making wine from home vines, select local vineyards and as far afield as Heathcote, the Pyrenees and Henty. With a generally vaunted reputation, Mornington Peninsula pinot noir is already in an enviable position, even without the significant advantage of tourism that its idyllic location and surrounds encourage. The foundation was laid long ago, and the wines have found their place around the country and indeed around the world, with many estates exporting broadly, albeit often in small quantities.
This Pinot is deep ruby red with brilliant clarity and aromas of black cherry, cranberries, cola root, and spice. With time, more undergrowth and savage characters come to the fore. The palate has a core of red fruits and gentle oak spices that lead to a structured and generous finish.
“As opposed to other Victorian pinot regions, the defining thing is that we’ve got three bodies of water around us,” says Garagiste’s Barnaby Flanders, who has worked in the region for two decades, including at Moorooduc Estate. Like many youthful Australian wine regions, that exploration of site differences and mapping out areas of similarity to identify subregions is a critical one. Also like many regions, the borders employ existing political boundaries, with the edges blurring together, even if the generalities hold true.
