2015 is looking a tight and focused release, glorious Chard fruit for those who can wait.

Rob Hall makes a tightly wound Chard. There is a hint of oak but the purity of the melon and stone fruits still shows through. A hint of tangy citrus and a long clean finish are evident with just a hint of dough/bread. Entirely too easy to drink, especially with some time open or another 6 months to 5 years in bottle. Have with tiger prawns and aioli.
Rob Hall has done some magical things when it comes to wine. He’s worked at big and small places making outstanding quality wines. Most notably he has worked at Mount Mary and Kellybrook. He has also been making wines under his own label sourced from his family vineyard near Healesville and local fruit. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the main wines here, both are made for younger drinking, offering great quality and value. Further releases of interesting parcel sourced from around the Yarra will only add to his legend.
The grape that you can plant anywhere, in any climate and do anything to and it will still taste like an OK wine. When people hit the sweet spot of site, climate, cropping and winemaking, Chardonnay becomes a magical wine that will age gracefully but charm you at any age. Chardonnays can range from cool climate lean and citrusy to warmer climate tropical and overt. Oak and lees can add flavouring as can malolactic fermentation.
A region that is just too big to generalise about. The difference between Upper and Lower Yarra can be the ability to ripen some grapes or not. Great wines are made in the Yarra but it is best to know the producers.

Pretty, medium weight, and precise. Metrat Fleurie La Roilette is a joy to drink now; there are other Beaujolais to age, this one is to enjoy

Sparkling Wine, Champagne, and Seafood Dinner at Dakota 25th March
It has been a long time between shared drinks for a lot of us. I have not hosted a dinner since October 2019. I am keen to get out and share great food and great company. How about you?
Let’s not muck around either! Straight to the top shelf. Champagne, Sparkling wine, and three courses (plus canapes). I’m excited to be teaming up with Dakota for the first time, the menu they have prepared is going to elevate these wines to a new level.
