2013 CHARDONNAY
Chilled before whole bunch-pressing, 50% MLF, matured for 12 months in French barriques (50% new, 50% second use). Gleaming yellow-green hue, grapefruit, apple and white peach drive the very expressive and complex palate. A rare chance to see a nine-year-old chardonnay.
97 points.
“Winemaker Geoff Weaver and the emotion of landscape.”
Wine and art express landscape in different ways – or do they? Winemaker and artist Geoff Weaver lost a lifetime of artistic expression in the 2019 bushfires but it hasn’t dampened his connection with the Adelaide Hills, nor his passion for painting.
A pioneer of Adelaide Hills winemaking
UNIQUE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN TERROIR
Over four decades Geoff has transformed a prime parcel of Adelaide Hills farmland into one of the region’s most celebrated vineyards. The property, bordered by apple orchards and found more than 500 metres above sea level, gives Geoff’s wine its signature cool-climate qualities.
Geoff’s philosophy
CURATING OUR WINES FOR THE FUTURE
I’ve been honing my craft as a winemaker for the past forty years. It’s a pursuit that provides constant inspiration and pure joy as the unique traits of our terroir are captured in each bottle.
“Great wine matters like great art matters. It’s an expression of high cultural achievement in harmony with nature.”

From disaster to rebuilding
RECOVERING FROM THE CUDLEE CREEK BUSHFIRE
We – like so many Australians – will remember the summer of 2019-20 for its devastating bushfires. Our vineyard was badly damaged by a fire that began near Cudlee Creek on 20 December 2019. Today we can see many signs of progress. While much of the property’s native bushland and about 40 per cent of its vines continue to recover, this treasured pocket of the Adelaide Hills has kept all its magic.
