FLINTY, PEACHY, TOASTY
WHY WE LOVE IT:
The Baxendale Vineyard, planted in 1995 and sitting a comfortable 600m above seal level, provides beautiful fruit for winemaker Adrian Rodda to work with.
This is Christina’s favourite Aussie Chard this year - it’s plush but still vibrant, peachy, salty and smokey with really pretty vanilla/cream character.
Adrian's Beechworth-based winery is essentially a one-man operation with some help from acclaimed viticulturist, Mark Walpole. What started as a hobby has ballooned into a full-time obsession and he has garnered some huge praise for his classic yet energetic wines.With a wealth of experience gained under the top-notch tutelage of Yarra Valley superstar winemaker, Dave Bicknell, Adrian is one of the true stars of North East Victorian Wine.
