Karriview Wines

Karriview wines are produced from fruit sourced solely from Karriview, a small closely planted vineyard surrounded by the majestic Karri forest.

The vineyard, consisting of 50% pinot noir and 50% chardonnay was established in 1986, the first to be planted in the Denmark region. The maturity of the vines is evident in recent vintages of both the pinot noir and chardonnay, with increasing concentration and complexity in these wines.

The vineyard produces small parcels of quality pinot noir and chardonnay fruit from its 4ha vineyard

Planting began in 1986, chardonnay and pinot noir were chosen because they were considered best suited to the cool Denmark environment. Nearly 8,000 closely planted vines now flourish with production averaging around 3 tonnes per hectare.

The red loam soil with outcrops of granite represent the combination of typical coastal karri tree country. The Karri trees surrounding the vineyard create a unique microclimate within the vineyard which ensures a long slow ripening period.

Due to the closely planted vines, all vineyard work is completed by hand, including pruning and picking. The surrounding karri trees are home to many birds and the vines are netted annually to protect the fruit. Organic principals are undertaken in the vineyard and hence no pesticides are used in the vineyard.

Karriview Chardonnay 2003

The chardonnay wine is whole bunch pressed and left in tanks on lees before going into oak for extended maturation of up to 9 months in new and old French oak.

Showing elegant stone fruit and mineral aromas with background notes of nougat and mocha oak. Layers of nectarine, grapefruit and white peach fruits are enhanced across the palate by notes of citrus and mineral complexity, while the oak sits harmoniously in the background.
