Brilliant, pale straw with a green hue. Fruit aromas reminiscent of white flowers and stone-fruit are enhanced by a cashew-like barrel ferment character. The opulent palate is testament to the low yielding season, showing layers of intense fruit kept in check by pitch-perfect natural acid.
Long and persistent in finishing flavour; chalky texture plays a part in bringing this fine, balanced Chardonnay to conclusion.
Owners and winemakers Scott Ireland and Sam Vogel are obsessed with making wines that showcase their origin.
Provenance Wines was established in 1996 with one simple aim: make great local wine from great local vineyards. Balance, purity and place form the overarching philosophy that drives their winemaking decisions.
In March 2018, after an extensive renovation we opened our winery and cellar door in a re-purposed bluestone building at the Fyansford Paper Mill.
The search for vineyards of special provenance began in the mid '90s when Scott Ireland settled in the Geelong region. Keen to work with excellent vineyards west and south of Melbourne, it didn't take long for him to realise that a great prospect existed. An opportunity to bring under the one umbrella, a patchwork quilt of vineyards where the match of grape variety to vineyard site produced great fruit. Provenance Wines was born, the name chosen in recognition of the source vineyards.
Throughout the establishment of Provenance as a viable business Scott’s partner Jen Lilburn has always been in the background supporting and quietly ensuring that all runs smoothly. Vintage 2006 saw Sam Vogel come on-board to help with winemaking duties, his hard work and skill have had a significant impact on the success of Provenance. Now more than a decade later he steps up further to take a share of ownership in the business. Some vineyards are owned and some are leased, but all of them are looked after by our resident vineyard guru, the indefatigable Ben Grayson.
