Tasting Note

The 2021 Farrago delivers its classic aroma set-mandarin, pink grapefruit, flint and savoury grains-with purity and elegance. Well-defined flavours in the citrus spectrum-with a touch of something more exotic - are delivered in a beautifully weighted palate. A precise spine of fine acid runs long, culminating with a pithy grapefruit-powered finish. This wine will significantly benefit from time in the cellar.

Product Notes

The Kooyong Faultline Chardonnay is an outstanding Australian white wine, hailing from Mornington Peninsula. Exhibiting an elegant, cool-climate character, this wine showcases the subtlety of the Chardonnay grape. The palate bursts with a medley of crisp apples, creamy peaches and lush tropical notes, beautifully laced with a delicate minerality. Maturation in French oak imparts a refined complexity, adding hints of vanilla and almond. The finish is long and satisfying, making this Chardonnay not just a wine, but a tantalising epicurean experience. Best served moderately chilled alongside poultry or seafood dishes. Faultline is a top-shelf choice for any discerning wine lover.

About the Winery

Kooyong

Kooyong Winery, nestled in the heart of Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, is an iconic site in Australia famed for its exceptional wines. The winery is most renowned for its authentic and distinctive expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which are cultivated from estate-grown, hand-pruned vines.

The magic behind Kooyong's award-winning wines lies in its unique terroir. The vineyards are carefully positioned on ancient, fertile soil composed of clay and loam—a perfect bed for vine cultivation. The cool maritime climate sweeps through the vineyard providing the ideal condition for the slow, gentle ripening of the fruits, a process key to the development of the wine’s nuanced flavours.

At Kooyong Winery, there's a palpable commitment to sustainable farming. Methods such as soil regeneration; pest control through natural predators, and reliance on rainfall and underground water for irrigation are testament to this eco-conscious approach.

Visitors to the estate are treated to a truly immersive experience. The tasting room, located in a sophisticated yet cosy area, invites guests to sample the winery's exquisite line of produce beneath the high, oak-lined ceilings. The scenic views over the vineyards from the floor-to-ceiling windows provides the perfect backdrop to this sensory expedition.

An integral part of the cellar door experience, you can indulge in the winery's contemporary, locally sourced menu. It pairs wonderfully with the wines and is a culinary delight in its own right!

For wine connoisseurs and those with interest alike, Kooyong Winery is not just a wine estate; it's a tangible testament to the art of winemaking and the fervour for the craft that can only manifest from a deep-rooted respect toward nature and tradition.

To put it simply – a visit to the estate is a jaunt into the heart of Australian viticulture, a journey that promises to elicit joy and admiration at every turn. So here's to Kooyong Winery; where each bottle is a love letter to the art of vine-growing and each sip is a sensory voyage into the depths of this craft.
