Winemaker… Chris Catlow
“I love how grapey this is. I also love how ‘gamay’ it is, in that it doesn’t secretly wish that it was pinot noir. It tastes of iodine and blood orange, blue berry and spearmint, black cherry and quite intense florals. Its attitude is wrapped in silk or, rather, in grape skins. It’s quite terrific to drink, both for the flavours themselves but also the freedom of it, in the context of structure. 93pts.”
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
“Born and raised in Beechworth, Victoria, Chris developed a curiosity for wine making in his teens. His interest was nurtured by Barry Morey at Sorrenberg while he worked with him on vintages before going on to complete a double degree in Viticultural Science and Wine Science at Latrobe University in Melbourne. His early passion for Chardonnay stayed with him as he went on to complete seven vintages on the Mornington Peninsula (with Kooyong Estate, Portsea Estate and Paringa Estate) and five in Burgundy.”
