Our two estate vineyards are managed with a holistic approach, without the use of any herbicides, pesticides, and only organic fungicides to respect the life of the soil and its ecosystem.
In the winery, we use wild yeasts and gentle extraction techniques without additions or manipulation – ensuring vineyard character and regionality shines.
Vintage 2023 marked our 25th year of winemaking it all that began when the family’s Oakbank property was first planted to vines by parents Julie and Charlie Downer in 1998. In this year we had the opportunity to source some Sauvignon Blanc grapes, these were made and bottled under the careful eye of winemaker, Brian Light. The rest is history!

Our 7th release, The 2023 Rocket Chardonnay from the elevated terroir of Lenswood, navigating a cool and measured vintage. Subtle white stone fruit notes orbit alongside hints of candle wax, grilled hazelnuts, and a spark of flint, creating an intriguing, layered nose. On the palate, refreshing citrus cuts through with laser-like precision, steering towards melon and crystalline quince. Full malolactic fermentation and judicious oak integration provide gravity and texture, with a fine pithy edge grounding the wine's structure. This cosmic Chardonnay is poised for lift-off, drinking beautifully in its youth, but destined to evolve and expand with time in the bottle.
