And that’s a wrap on Chardonnay May! We loved wining and dining with so many of you throughout the month and sharing the Chardonnays that define our story. A heartfelt thank‑you to everyone who joined us for our Meet the Makers tasting last weekend. It was a fantastic panel exploring the journeys of three remarkable Chardonnay voices, Brian, Xavier, and Mike Symons. We also enjoyed a series of wonderful dinners across the city and the Hills, celebrating alongside an incredible community of Chardonnay producers. Chardonnay May may have wrapped up, but great Chardonnay is worth celebrating all year long.

Today is International Chardonnay Day! We have a long history of Chardonnay winemaking at Tapanappa, pioneering cool-climate Chardonnay in Australia. A big step was taken on that journey in 2003, when Brian took the bold move to replant the oldest section of the Tiers Vineyard with Dijon clones on rootstocks. Each vine was planted 1.5m apart, and each row 1.5m wide, with a close spacing of 4,444 vines per hectare and trained closer to the ground, resulting in grapes with a slightly different character to the old-vine Tiers vineyard.
 
This new vineyard, the Tiers 1.5M Vineyard, produces its own character of Chardonnay. The closer spacing and low-vine training regimen mean that the grapes ripen at different rates, producing wines with powerful fruit characters and writing a new chapter in the history of the distinguished Tiers terroir.
