Product details
WINEMAKING/VITICULTURE
Made with organic winemaking techniques with very
little winemaking intervention.
Located on the Murray River at Loxton, the Barich
Family have a beautiful organic vineyard that produces
some wonderful Chardonnay. They have been joined in
the 2011 Vintage by the Carypidis Family of Virginia
who have been producing Chardonnay of a high quality
for Yalumba for some time but have only recently been
certified organic. Meticulous work in both vineyards
ensures that the grapes are in perfect condition when
they are picked, and together they have created a wine
that showcases the variety for the first time under
Yalumba’s Organic label.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
After years of drought, the weather changed this vintage
and the Riverland experienced a cool and wet season
that was a challenge for all. Through meticulous care in
the vineyards and without compromising their organic
principles, our organic Chardonnay growers again
produced grapes that not only managed to avoid the
diseases that were prevalent in other vineyards this
year but had great flavours.
