About The WIne

A true rarity and a labor of love, the 2022 Tonimbuk Chardonnay is one of the most compelling and personal wines to emerge from Dane's Nikau Farms vineyards. With only 150 bottles made from a tiny, 45-year-old vineyard plot in Tonimbuk, this wine is a vivid expression of place, passion, and patience.

Grown on lean, volcanic granite soils from just 10 rows of low-yielding Mendoza clone Chardonnay, the fruit is intensely concentrated—producing no more than two small bunches per vine, even in a good year.

Expect a wildly un-Australian Chardonnay: no oak, no fat or flab—just pure, nervy energy and captivating minerality. This is Chardonnay for people who think they don’t like Chardonnay. Textured, layered, and electric, it’s a wine that speaks of old vines, granite soils, and a deep connection to the land.

Bottled by gravity, Sealed with premium natural cork and beeswax.

About Nikau Farms

Dane Johns has carved a formidable reputation making some of Australia's best natural wines. His hugely popular Momento Mori wines have a cult following and it's not hard to see why. The Nikau Farms wines are from Dane and Hannah's Gippsland vineyards.

They operate with the ideology of creating wines that first and foremost respect the living and are wines that they like to drink and share. They farm two sites one on the steep hills of Strezelecki Ranges in Gippsland and another beneath the Black Snake Ranges in the Tonimbuk valley.

Farmed strictly with organic principles and a appreciation of the living and dynamic environment around them. Nikau Farm wines are all very small batch with no use of new oak or mechanical pumps used on the wines, no fining or filtering and no additions apart from occasionally a tiny amount of S02 at bottling.
