Description

Loosely translating to Cellar Blend, Cuvee de Chais is Adrian's interpretation of a traditional Bordeaux blend.

We see a combination of 5 varieties in this wine, shown off with great finesse. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure; Merlot & Cabernet Franc provides red fruit flavours and savouriness, a little splash of Petit Verdot adds acidity and a tiny hint of Malbec gives a dark roundness to the finish.

Built around balance, not out-and-out power, there is some clear craftsmanship shown in this great release.

    Honest house blend

    A nice middle weight blend, with a Cabernet emphasis, good fruit and good integration, with fruit picked not too ripe.

    Worked with Italian and cheeses.

A. Rodda

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.

Chardonnay (of course) is his main focus, showcasing a regional series from Beechworth, the Yarra Valley & the Whitlands but he also tackles Cabernet blends & Tempranillo with aplomb.
