A Word On Walkerville Wine»
Sandro Mosele is one of Victoria's most accomplished vignerons, his celebrated editions of Kooyong and Port Phillip estates are amongst the most cherished renderings of Burgundy styled Pinot Noir in the nation. Mosele has applied his art to a precious parcel of fruit, picked off a single, modest block of vine, grown to the fully fertile soils of a lamb and beef stud, on the brisk, maritime blown coastals of Gippsland South. This is not Pinot for profit, Walkerville represents an aesthetic appreciation of fruit from the farmer, invigorated by the blessings of providence and consecrations of local livestock. A cornucopia of comely characters, forcemeats.. The grazier's garden of gippsland»
Nabobs & The Nursery»
Tim and Simon and all the Wicks, nurse the rootstock and foster the clones which are in highest demand by the Adelaide Hills most accomplished vignerons. The Wicks are Adelaide Hills born and bred, they called upon an old mate named Tim Knappstein to assist in the establishment of a vineyard and wineworks, set amongst the ancient eucalypts on the scenic slopes of Woodside. Each and every planting was determined according to a viticultural algorithm, based on clonal selections and terroir, aspect, soils and clime. The shrubs reached maturity and the wines that flowed are claiming a conspicuous tally of triumphs at significant national wine shows... The wonderful wines of wicks»
Creme de la Cuvee Colac»
Gary and Nick Farr are father and son, they make wine together but aren't afraid to go head to head when their opinions differ. Nick grew up amongst some of the world's most sacred vineyards, he knows about the land and found a magnificent little site, barely east of Lake Colac. Irrewarra is the vigneron's shangri-la, prepared for viticulture by generations of grazing and eons of the sobering south sea breezes, which stimulate vines to yield meagre harvests of parched little grapes, sleek of tannin and rich in flavour. Vintaged in excruciatingly limited lots, there are fully two styles of Irrewarra on offer, a grapefruit and oyster shell Chardonnay, a.. It's irrewarra by farr»
Leongatha, Lucinda & Lees»
Just outside the Gippsland town of Leongatha, a few minutes down the road from the hallowed grounds at Bass Phillip estate, ten precious acres of exceptional terroir were planted in 1990, to artisanal clones of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. The propitious easterly aspects make the most of morning sun, an auspicious bequeath of fertile Ferrosols oblige the rootstock and infuse the fruit, while reducing the vigor and rationing the harvest. Lucinda Estate was never established as a producer of scale, its scant yields were always destined to be in pursuit of stunning Syrah and the perfect Pinot.

Mayford Chardonnay 2012 CONFIRM 2012 VINTAGE

Mayford Chardonnay 2012 - Buy
Chardonnay Ovens Valley Victoria
The long cool ripening seasons of the Victorian Alpines are ideal for winegrowing. The team at Mayford settled on the Ovens Valley and established their small dry grown vineyard within a hidden vale that's blissfully frost free. Proprietor Eleana Anderson is a vigneron with a focus on investment rather than return. Viticulture to her is all about how much more effort you can put in to build a better crop. Her fruit is vinified to the same exacting standards, limited yields ensure that there's not much Mayford wine around to see the next vintage.

Mayford enjoys a relatively frost free existence despite its sub alpine climate, due to an elevated hillside position. There is no magical interaction between stones, water and the cosmos, just hard work and attention to detail, driven by a desire for excellence rather than economics. Chardonnay is all hand picked over a number of weeks, to a schedule determined by ripeness. Grapes are whole bunch pressed into a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for fermentation. A course of partial malolactic builds structure, introduces generosity of flavour and adds complexity. Battonage lees stirring retains freshness and encouragess a creamy, curd texture. Barrels are aged for a year before the final assemblage.
Straw hue. Appealing peach, grapefruit and citronella aromas to the fore, background notes of meal, roasted nuts and struck match. Soft, textural palate with lovely line and balance, a rich and generously flavoured Chardonnay wine, showing super fine acid structure and offering wonderful length. A splendid aperitif style and excellent match to all fine gourmandise.

Mayford
High above Ovens River, overlooking the sleepy township of Porepunkah, the family owned and operated Mayford Vineyard lies tucked away from view

Nestled in a hidden valley, with unsurpassed views of Mount Buffalo, the shaley hillside plantings give rise to low yielding vines and wines of intensity and finesse. For winemaker vigneron couple, Eleana Anderson and Bryan Nicholson, the small range of Mayford Wines is the culmination of many years of toil together, which accounts for a large number of lost weekends and fishing opportunities. The creation of limited quantities of handcrafted wines is underpinned by a unique site in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, sensitive vineyard management, traditional winemaking practices and the staunch support of family and friends.

Mayford

Mayford Vineyard was established with a modest planting of Shiraz in 1995, which was enlarged in 1998. Tempranillo and Chardonnay followed in 2002. The nay-sayers scoff at Shiraz grown in the upper reaches of the Ovens Valley – you be the judge. Tempranillo is a natural fit with its late bud burst and early maturity. The bony ridge planting restricts berries to pea size, keeping its inherent vigour in check. The small area of Chardonnay from selected Bernard clones, thrives in its mountainous surrounds. A dappled, upright canopy protects the fruit from summer’s extremes, yielding wine that is all elegance and fruit intensity.

The dryland vineyard enjoys a relatively frost free existence despite its sub-alpine climate, due to an elevated hillside position. There is no magical interaction between stones, water and the cosmos, just hard work and attention to detail, driven by a desire for excellence rather than economics. That, and of course, the hand that nature deals each season.

Winemaking at Mayford tends towards tradition. Hand picking in small lots over several weeks optimises flavour complexity off the small vineyard. The team at Mayford prefer to let the naturally occurring yeasts dictate the timing and expression of the fermentation process.

Mayford

Chardonnay is barrel fermented and aged on lees with regular bâttonage. The reds are worked in small open fermenters and basket pressed before going to oak where natural malolactic fermentation is encouraged. Fining and filtration is kept to a minimum and only the finest oak is used. Mayford try not to interfere unnecessarily with the wines, preferring them to be a natural expression of a special site within a unique winegrowing region.
