Toolangi Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Toolangi Vineyard was established in 1995.  Vines grow on a deep bed of rich clay silts under a layer of finer silty clay loam topsoil.  Together with the gently sloping northeast aspect, the vineyard has proven to be an outstanding site that is highly regarded amongst the Yarra Valley wine community and beyond.
New owners took on Toolangi in 2017 and appointed acclaimed winemaker Kaspar Hermann (Mount Mary, Coldstream Hills, Punch, Seville Estate) to take Toolangi forward.  Ever since, the already impressive Toolangi wines have shown even more purity and finesse via Hermann’s less is more approach.
These are wines that are a pure and direct expression of their site and they are a great example of Yarra Valley at its finest.
Toolangi Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 is the product of a great vintage.  The fruit quality was excellent and the result is a wine born from powerful concentrated fruit. In the winery, fruit was destemmed and pressed to French Oak, 10% new, for fermentation on lees.  A further maturation of nine months took place prior to bottling. Kaspar describes the 2024 as “attractive and delicious, full of regional charm and eminent drinkability. ” We couldn’t agree more!
