Notes on the producer

Yabby Lake Vineyard was established by the Kirby family in 1998, in Tuerong, which is located in the northern part of the peninsula.  Over the past decade, the vineyard has built a reputation for single vineyard chardonnay and pinot noir of great purity and character. They  craft a small selection of single vineyard and single block wines off their special site in Tuerong. The focus is on pinot noir and chardonnay, but they also have small plantings of pinot gris and syrah.

"Our philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflecting our site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing that expression."
