WINE PROFILE

Featuring the talented artists’ original works on a range of limited wines all produced from fruit sourced across three of Mitchelton’s vineyards – in Nagambie, Yarra Valley and Heathcote.

Gabriella’s use of colour is some of the most vivid, and her strong connection to Country and her father, with whom she would paint, wander and share stories, are depicted in painted stories such as Bush Tucker, Women’s Ceremonies and Seven Sisters Dreaming.

This premium range of wine includes Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2020 featuring Seven Sisters Dreaming.

TASTING NOTES

The wine is pale straw in colour with a green tinge looking youthful and fresh, this wine shows classic Yarra Valley regional and varietal aromas of white peach, with subtle elegant French oak interweaved with subtle complex yeast notes. The palate is a sophisticated medium body Chardonnay being a true reflection of the cooler 2020 vintage. There is a fresh but delicate clean acid line, integrated with savour secondary winemaking attributes of oak and yeast autolysis. The wine has a clean extended finish.
