About The Wine
The Toolangi Chardonnay is a very good value proposition.
The fruit is grown on the Toolangi Estate vineyard in Dixons Creek - one of the most idyllic places in the Yarra Valley to grow premium Chardonnay.
This is a wine that will drink beautifully from day one. It's an elegant style of Chardonnay, with enough flesh and toastiness to keep the flavour hounds satisfied.
An easy to love wine for all Chardonnay fans!
About Toolangi
Toolangi is a relatively undiscovered jewel of the Yarra, tucked in the corner of the Dixon's Creek sub-region up against the Toolangi state forest from where it takes its name.
Started by the Hounsell family in 1995, Toolangi was all about the vineyard, with famous Victorian names taking care of the winemaking.
Now owned by Rochford, the winemaking and viticulture is all in-house, headed by ex-Mount Mary man Kaspar Herrman. His recent releases have seen incredible quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a nod towards more graceful, structured wines.

From the Producer
Opens with some subtle flint, moves into fresh oatmeal and citrus blossom with a little candle wax there too. The palate is juicy with grapefruit, lime and quince. Fine phenolics support a shapely core that is fresh through the finish.
Fruit is crushed and pressed with juice solids to French oak barriques (10% new) for primary fermentation. Wine is sulphured on lees without malolactic conversion. 10 months on lees in oak.
This Chardonnay is made from low cropped, hand harvested I10V3 and Mendoza Chardonnay clones from the 18 year old vines on A, B and G blocks.
Blend : Chardonnay (100%)
ABV : 12.7%
Closure : Screw Cap
Drink Until : 2025
Bottle Size : 750ml

Critic Reviews
"A fair bit of colour for such a young wine – straw gold. The wine's certainly fresh, just full of ripe flavours. Grilled pineapple, yellow peaches and lots of malted milk powder. There are flashes of savouriness, a smidge of oak spices and there's plenty to enjoy but sooner rather than later." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
"Toolangi are pretty darn ace at chardonnay. This is chardonnay 101, stone fruits, a bit of green melon, a touch of clove/cinnamon spice, some gently resinous character that is there but not really untoward. Cruises along with quiet complexity albeit this is pretty elementary as a chardy, and good drinking in that regard. A decent option for the bucks." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
