Description
The Butcher’s Hill Chardonnay continues to climb the ranks of Tasmania’s elite whites.
Grown on the steep, north-facing slopes of the historic Richmond site, the vines dig into unique dolerite soils that provide a massive structural foundation for the fruit.
While it shares the same crystalline purity as its Cooinda Vale sibling, Butcher’s Hill generally offers a bit more curve and generosity. The winemaking is precise: hand-picked fruit is put through a cool vinification process and aged in fine-grained French oak. The result is a wine that feels incredibly refined but carries an inherent power and riper, more rounded mouthfeel that is characteristic of the site.
It’s all about balance - layering fine oak integration with intense orchard fruit. It is a powerful, world-class expression of place that sits right at the top of the tree for Tasmanian Chardonnay. It’s built for the long haul, though its current polish makes it very hard to leave in the cellar.

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.
