An exceptional achievement for an exceptional wine.
Top 6 Chardonnays in the Peninsula
We are honoured to announce that our 2022 ‘The Chosen Few’ Amphora Chardonnay has been named one of the Top 6 Chardonnays in the Peninsula, a testament to its distinctive character and our unique terracotta-maturation process.
This is a Chardonnay that truly takes you on a journey. It was this singular quality that captured the attention of esteemed wine critic RRPCoverdale, who included it in his top six from a blind tasting. He noted its “brooding” nose, which presents rich, toffee-like notes, yet retains a remarkable stone fruit and citrus freshness. The palate is where its complexity unfolds, praised by the critic for its “beautiful mid-palate texture and drive/energy.”… Read More Mornington Peninsula’s Best Chardonnay
What you perceive on the nose does not simply carry through; it evolves, adding another dimension that keeps you returning for another sip. This is a wine of depth and surprise, a standout creation that is sure to engage even the most discerning palates.

2022 Trofeo ‘The Chosen Few’ Amphora Chardonnay, $84 RRP
Coverdale had this wine in his top six from the blind tasting. “This wine appeared more brooding on the nose, with toffee-like notes suggesting that it was oxidatively handled in the winery, yet still retaining its stone fruit and citrus freshness,” he noted. “This wine takes you on a journey – it has a beautiful mid-palate texture and drive/energy. A wine that’s sure of itself and its surroundings! What you see on the nose does not necessarily carry through to your mouth, which adds another dimension to the wine – and keeps you going back for another sip.”
