Burton McMahon is an innovative collaboration between Matt Burton and Dylan McMahon; two winemakers that forged a friendship while driving through the wine regions of France. Together, they source fruit from small, exclusive vineyards in the Yarra Valley to make interesting and unique wines that reflect varietal character and terroir.

Whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented in both 300L French barrels (20-30% new) and older 500L barrels. A clear, bright green gold. A superb single-vineyard wine from the moment you put your nose in the glass, there's aromas of mandarin, white stone fruits, fresh-cut camelias and a hint of white clover honey. Even better on the palate, this is both powerful and restrained. Finishes saline and long and I gotta admit, it was too good to spit!
