Some days just deserve to be circled on the calendar. 🦪

Oysters In The House is coming to a full day celebrating two of NSW’s greatest culinary icons: the Sydney Rock Oyster and Hunter Valley Semillon.

PJ will be hosting The Perfect Pairing masterclass, exploring why these two are one of the great matches in Australian food and wine. Alongside his great mate, the brilliant John Susman AO leads Deep Dive into Merroir, a fascinating look at how where an oyster grows shapes everything about how it tastes.

Add in live shucking from the legendary Giannaros brothers, the finest Semillon producers in the state, a martini pop-up, and a kitchen firing on all cylinders, it’s going to be a very good day.

Tickets are live now, visit link in bio. Come hungry.😋

Still blown away by the response to our Charteris Winemakers Dinners at China Doll this week, completely sold out both nights within two days and filled with wonderful people, conversation, and shared bottles.
To everyone who joined us, PJ & I thank you. Your support of Charteris means so much to our small family winery.
A special thank you to Wes and the incredible China Doll team for the warm hospitality and beautiful partnership & Lucy CellarHand for joining us.
We leave the week feeling very grateful and already looking forward to the next one.

Huge thanks to the crew for having me in the house and I hope you enjoyed the Hunter Valley Masterclass. Some great Semillon and Shiraz spanning ten vintages, regional distinction and longevity on show, 14, 19 and 23 in both sets

Watching PJ Charteris plunge one of our Pinot ferments: part winemaking, part resistance training.
Pinot’s fighting back, PJ’s knees are negotiating, and somewhere a chiropractor is on standby. 🤣
Not as easy as it used to be… but neither is Pinot 🍷

SPOTLIGHT on Chrissi’s favorite! 🤩

We are down to the final few cases of our first-release Chardonnay from Willowbell Vineyard. This 2023 Charteris Central Otago Chardonnay was a standout from the very beginning, enjoyed by all including Dave Brookes who wrote…

“It’s an amalgam of wonderfully ripe citrus and stone fruit characters and meal. Comes softly spiced with daubs of crème fraîche, meadow flowers, oatmeal, crushed stone, nougat, flint and citrus curd. With its slinky textural sway and bright mineral cadence, the wine makes good use of the concentration gifted by the ‘23 vintage, with an array of pure citrus, peach and nectarine tones sliding seamlessly over the palate in a graceful arc. Great drinking!”

If you’ve been meaning to try it, now’s the moment before it quite literally disappears. Go to link in bio or visit www.charteriswines.com to secure this perfect drinking Autumn 🍂 Chardonnay!

A memorable moment from my time as Chair of the Royal Sydney Wine Show—presenting the woodchopping trophy and sharing the experience with my children. A reminder that the most meaningful occasions are those I’ve shared with my kids.
