between the vines

Stewart & Laura

It began with a window

It started with a serendipitous find: an old arched window, and no particular plan for it. That window, and the Old Reynella cave winery, are the two things this place got built around.

Cool, quiet, thick-walled. Somewhere that feels like it has always been there.

Every vine is hand-pruned, hand-netted and hand-picked. There's no separate tasting team — if you come on a Saturday, one of us is pouring. That's the whole business, and we'd rather keep it that way.

What you’ll taste

Everything is grown, pruned, netted and picked by the two of us — which is a polite way of saying there isn't very much of it. Taste them at the bar; take home whatever you can't stop thinking about.

Single Vineyard Chardonnay

Chardonnay

Single Vineyard Chardonnay

Upfront citrus and grapefruit aromatics that develop into softer pear and rockmelon on the palate. Flinty minerality, natural acidity, a subtle touch of oak.
