The project of Nina Stocker and Callie Jemmeson, who collectively have worked in the Yarra Valley, Barolo, Rhone Valley, California, Alentejo, Central Otago and elsewhere. So they should know their way around a winery. Grapes for the label – a pinot noir and this chardonnay – are mainly sourced from the Upper Yarra.

A blend focusing on the township of Seville East in the Upper Yarra Valley but also incorporating fruit from Coldstream and Yarra Glen. A small percentage of whole bunches. A bright, ruby red. An aromatic bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries and a little briar. Just as good on the medium-bodied, crunchy-fruited and energetic palate. Pliant tannins round out a wine that will still be drinking well a decade from now.
