Seville Estate Wines 'Reserve' Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2021 (limited) - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Overview

Seville Estate’s Reserve range highlights the most exceptional fruit sourced from select estate blocks, with every bunch carefully assessed in the vineyard. Frequently drawn from the original 1972 plantings, these wines reflect the estate’s commitment to expressing site, season, and varietal character at the highest level.

Region & Vintage Conditions

The 2021 vintage stands as one of the Upper Yarra’s finest, shaped by mild temperatures and evenly paced rainfall that encouraged steady growth and balanced ripening. These ideal conditions allowed Chardonnay to develop purity, intensity, and layered flavour while maintaining brilliant natural acidity.

Source

Harvested from individual estate blocks, with Reserve-quality bunches hand-selected in the vineyard, often incorporating fruit from the historic 1972 Chardonnay plantings.
