You can see the deft touch of a clever winemaker with this super stylish Chardonnay. Erin has drawn in grapes from the cool Alpine Valleys in NE Victoria for this wine, crafting an ultra-minerally wine that has all sorts of interesting nutty layers on top of, making for something that is both extra fresh but also layered and complex too.

Erin Frances Pooley (thus the name) is one of Australia's most exciting young winemakers, although no one really knows that yet! Born and raised in Sydney, she graduated from Charles Sturt University with a degree in Wine Science before moving to California and began making wine in 2007. Come the year that was 2020, she returned home with a desire to start afresh and make wines from her own backyard. Erin has a keen wine mind, coupled with a global palate. Together, these form a powerful weapon that she applies with laser focus in finding unsung fruit sources and coaxing all the nuance and detail from them. The complexity she manages to imbue into her wines is wonderful, and they have that rare delight of changing slowly over time in the glass and once the bottle has been opened. It's a pleasure to have these wines in the GPD stable!
