Toolangi Vineyard, buried deep in the Yarra Valley on the outskirts of the Toolangi State Forest, was established in 1995 and has, over the years, established itself as one of the Valley’s most well-regarded sites. It’s planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz and is best known for producing excellent, quintessential Yarra Valley Chardonnay from low-yielding clones of Gingin, Mendoza and I10V3. On average, the vines are 23 years old and sit in fine clay loam soils.
The 2025 growing season began with a warm and dry spring which continued into summer resulting in an early and compressed vintage. The resulting wines show fantastic phenolic ripeness. The chardonnay undergoes partial malolactic fermentation prior to bottling after 9 months barrel maturation. This Chardonnay is vibrant and powerful whilst retaining regional distinction.
