“The Chardonnay fruit for this wine was sourced from Mayfield Vineyard in Orange, NSW. It was harvested in the early morning to keep it fresh. We then transported it to Chris Madrez, the ‘Mad Frenchman’, at the bottom of Mount Canobolas. It sat in new and old French Oak barrels for 12 months and was bottled on the 3rd of March 2026”
DOZENS PRODUCED: 136
WINEMAKER: CHRIS MADREZ
FRUIT SOURCE: MAYFIELD VINEYARD, ICELY ROAD. ORANGE NSW
A fine example of what the Orange region has become renowned for: premium chardonnay with elegance and finesse.
This awesome Chardonnay nails the balance of bright acidity, texture, richness, and a pleasant interplay of fruit and oak, two characteristics that lend welcome versatility in food pairings.
In the land that tends to OD on oak, Chris Madrez allowed the natural fruit flavours to shine by ageing it in new and aged French Oak for 12 months.
It’s a balanced Chardonnay by one of Orange’s most awarded winemakers.
