Chalambar is vinified from parcels of Shiraz grown to good vineyards in the Grampians ranges and Heathcote. Chalambar harnesses the individual strengths and distinct characteristics of old vines to create a wine of great charm and character that resonates with harmony. There's a great balance of violets, pepper and spice from the Grampians component that provides contrasting elegance to the strength of Bendigo's deeply ferrous fruit. Vines are assisted by crop thinning and encouraged to yield grapes with excellent concentration of flavour and gentle tannins. The finished wine is matured eighteen months in a combination of new and prior use French oak barriques.
