The 2011 Douglas Seabrook Single Vineyard trophy winner,Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Chardonnay, is hand selected from a number of blocks from the Yabby Lake Vineyard. The fruit was handpicked and whole-bunch-pressed into tight-grain French oak barriques, with each block handled separately in the winery. Fermentation commenced naturally and the wine was matured on lees, without malolactic fermentation. Founded by Robert and Mem Kirby, Yabby Lake is under the custodianship of General Manager and Chief Winemaker, Tom Carson.
