A little look back at winter.

Lots of pruning, a bit of bottling, a few trips away and all the usual jobs in between.

Now the vineyard is starting to wake up again.

Hello, spring 🌻

02/09/2026

We’re welcoming Megan from Meg & Tam - Canowindra & Surrounds Florist back to ChaLou this spring for an afternoon of wreath making, good w**e and good company.

Megan will guide us through making a seasonal wreath using locally grown and naturally dried flowers, with everything you need provided and a glass of ChaLou w**e on arrival.

Sunday 1st November | 1pm–2:30pm
$95 per person

It’s International Dog Day so a little appreciation for our General Manager, Barnacle.

Usually the first to greet you at the car, he’ll lead the way to the cellar door, join you for a vineyard walk or keep an eye on things around the w**ery. He’s also Steve’s best mate and constant companion.

And we can’t forget a shout out to his number one girlfriend, Beatrix 😉

Come out for a tasting and there’s a good chance Barnacle will be here to welcome you.

A little look back at Dreaded Friend and the people, place and vines behind it.

It’s a little bittersweet to see the last of these w**es leave the cellar but we’re pretty excited about what’s ahead too.

There are still a few bottles of Grenache left for those who’d like one - available on our website via the link in bio.

Proud to be recognised as a 5-star w**ery again in this year’s Halliday W**e Companion.

It’s a lovely bit of recognition for what we’re doing here at ChaLou, alongside some pretty special scores for w**es we’re particularly proud of.

96 points
2025 ChaLou Estate Chardonnay
2025 ChaLou Estate Riesling

95 points
2025 ChaLou Quixotic Pinot Noir
2023 ChaLou Estate Syrah
2024 ChaLou Estate Sauvignon Blanc

We put a lot into these w**es – growing them here at our vineyard in Orange, working with each season as it comes and trying to make w**es that feel true to where they’re from.

Scores are never the whole picture but recognition like this from people within the industry is never lost on us. Thank you to Shanteh and the Halliday team for your kind reflections on our w**es.

If you haven’t visited us for a while, we’d love to see you. Come and see us at the cellar door and taste your way through what we’re currently pouring.

W**e has a funny way of keeping people connected.

Jared, Dan and I met while studying w**e at university. Since then, we’ve each gone our own way, making w**e in different regions and doing our own thing.

This August, we’re bringing the three labels back together at Jilly W**e Co.’s new cellar door in Clunes.

We’ll be pouring w**es from ChaLou, Jilly W**e Co. and Sigurd, alongside a few snacks. A relaxed afternoon in Jilly’s beautiful new space, catching up, sharing a few stories and enjoying some good company.

If you’re nearby, we’d love to see you.

Friday 28 August, 1pm–3pm
Jilly W**e Co. Cellar Door, Clunes
$60 per person

What’s Pouring. Summer St W**e Room

W**e: ChaLou 2025 Chardonnay (96 Halliday points)
Song pairing: Somber — Undressed
Food pairing: All Cheese with house-made lavosh, quince paste, hazelnuts & almonds.

We recently stopped by Summer St W**e Room, one of our favourite places for a long lunch, dinner with friends or simply a really good glass of w**e.

This pairing quietly gets everything right. The richness of the cheese is balanced by the Chardonnay’s freshness and texture, making each bite (and sip) better than the last.

If you’re visiting Orange, we’d recommend ordering a glass of Chardonnay, starting with the cheese board and letting the evening unfold.

There are lots of ways to build a life.

This is ours.

31/07/2026

This week we bottled two of our aromatic whites from the 2026 vintage, our off-dry Riesling and textural Pinot Gris. We also bottled the 2025 Syrah, along with the first vintage of our Quixotic Syrah🍷

Bottling marks the end of one chapter but it’s far from the end of the w**e’s story. From here, each w**e will continue to evolve quietly in bottle until the time is right.

We can’t wait to share them with you.

It’s finally starting to feel like winter ❄️

There’s something pretty magical about this time of year in Orange. Frosty mornings, crisp air and beautiful views around every corner.

The drive to ChaLou is all part of the winter experience. Winding through rolling hills, past glassy dams and pockets of morning mist, with a little more magic around every corner.
