Our Architect comes from our younger vines planted in 1995, this chardonnay displays an excellent medium colour with a hint of green and an aroma that is bright with hints of honey. The Architect is not overly fruit and its time on lees and in old barrels for 6 months has given a subtle elegant fruit character with fine texture. A vibrant wine with excellent minerality and youth.

Orange, NSW
A cool climate region can be defined as an area with heat degree days of 1600 or less. Cool nights in the growing season, large diurnal variation, long cool autumns and distinct seasons are also key factors in defining a cool climate region.
Orange is one of a handful of regions in Australia that fall into this category. Orange is unique among these regions due to the cool climate being the result of continental conditions rather than latitude.
