Consistently one of Mornington's very best, a meticulously crafted single vineyard Chardonnay, from fruit grown to 3½ coddled hectares at Tuerong. Kooyong is a true domain in viticultural terms, founders Chris and Gail Aytward were inspired to establish vines on a very special piece of terroir, chosen for its potential to produce quality fruit. The vineyard itself was husbanded from the ground up, with a view to growing Mornington's finest Chardonnay. A fully engaging, richly barrel fermented, mineral and quartz style of new world Chardonnay.
A mix of several Chardonnay clones, selectively picked off exclusively estate grown vines, trained to trellis vertical shoot position on the Farrago and Faultline blocks. Faultline makes wines that are richer and fuller than Farrago, articulating greater textural characters and supported by the inherent minerality. Farrago Chardonnay is defined by its very linear character and strong minerality, the premier wine with the greatest potential. Fruit is whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented in a selection of new and seasoned French oak, without any added yeast, followed by a year's maturation Sur lie.
TASTING NOTES
Vibrant pale straw with hints of gold. The nose shows lemon peel, grapefruit and wet stones. Palate has richness but is kept tight and focused by bright acidity running the entire length. Youthful and intensely flavoured, with bright citrus notes as well as sherbet, jelly crystals, mandarin and some oatmeal with hazelnut. Shows power, concentration and youth at the moment as it continues gain complexity.

About Kooyong Estate Wines
The Kooyong Vineyard and winery are located at Tuerong on the northern end of the Mornington Peninsula
Kooyong Estate was established on a gently undulating 93 hectare property neighbouring Devilbend Reserve, home to many native water birds. The Kooyong name means where the wild fowl gather. The vineyard and winery are part of the Gjergja family domain which also includes Port Phillip Estate. Compared with more southerly vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, Kooyong experiences a warmer, drier climate, and the light, sandy clay soil is also less vigorous than the more typical rich loam of the region. The winemaker is Sandro Mosele. Kooyong Estate»
