Description

James and Meagan Becker are carving out a thoughtful niche in the Hunter Valley, focusing on single-vineyard wines that let the land speak for itself. Their small plot is in the process of organic certification, and the approach in the winery is all about minimal intervention - wild ferments, no fining, no filtering. It’s early days for the Beckers, but their first releases are already making waves.

This Chardonnay is a classic Hunter expression, bold and flavourful but with a sense of balance and restraint. It’s all white nectarine, melon, and gentle oak, with texture and length that give it a bit of polish. There’s complexity, but it’s approachable, drinking beautifully now but with the structure to evolve.

It’s a wine that reflects both the land and the laid-back but considered approach of its makers. Pure, honest, and unmistakably Hunter Valley.

An absolute stunner

The wine took me back to the days when there was just enough oak in chardonnay to make it a spectacular drop. Thank you to M & J Becker for producing a beautiful wine which will now be a permanent fixture in my cellar.

Our newest release Chardonnay, is a regional expression of the Hunter Valley. This native fermented wine is unfined and unfiltered. Bright flavours of white nectarine, melon, subtle hints of oak, long and textural. Complex yet approachable.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
