SCOTT MCCARTHY
Winemaker Scott McCarthy was born in the wine game. From the moment he was old enough to walk his father had him in the family vineyard picking grapes. Scott joined Yalumba and after spending 10 years working in the Barossa Valley, he spent a number of years in areas as diverse as the USA's Napa Valley, the Loire Valley and Languedoc region in France, and Marlborough, in New Zealand. He came to realise that making wines from a cool climate region was where his true winemaking passion lay, and as a result he settled back in Australia at one of the best cool climate regions in the world; the Yarra Valley.
Chardonnay 2023
The Ingram Rd breed of Chardonnay is exciting, fresh, zesty and truly does the great grape variety known as Chardonnay justice. Gone are the days when you need a knife and fork to drink Chardonnay. Now, our Chardonnay is being made to reflect the subtle and complex fruit structure of this variety whilst maintaining a clean fresh finish on the palate. Our Ingram Rd Chardonnay is not like most inexpensive Chardonnays. Firstly it is made from our cool climate Yarra Valley Estate fruit, secondly small parcels are hand picked at harvest based on fruit flavours, thirdly it is 100% French oak fermented and matured and finally we utilize significant amounts of "wild” fermentation during the primary fermentation stage. This hand’s on approach, much of which relies on Mother Nature ensures that the fresh, complex, high quality Chardonnay fruit ends up in the bottle.
For those that think that they do not like Chardonnay, our Ingram Rd Chardonnay will open your taste buds up to the complex delights of what this great variety can taste like.
