2024 Shobbrook Chardonnay

Producer: Tom Shobbrook  |  Region: Barossa Valley |  Graoe: Chardonnay

About The Wine

From Jeff Treager’s 39 year old vineyard in Vine Vale, Barossa, at 280 metres above sea level, rooted in alluvial soils with very old sand over yellow-orange clay. The sand comes from the breakdown of compressed sandstone, while the clay — once an ocean floor — now sits 400 to 600 millimetres beneath the surface. The 2024 vintage was glorious, and the Chardonnay was picked and pressed into 600-litre French tonneaux, (no new oak) where it fermented and aged for 18 months before racking. 

A beautiful, rich golden colour with green hues. Ripe apples, quince and orchard fruits with a creamy, buttery texture. Fresh with good fruit ripeness. An absolute beauty of minerality, richness, and elegance.

About Tom Shobbrook

Tom Shobbrook is one of Australia’s most influential natural-wine pioneers, crafting soulful, low-intervention wines from his high-elevation farm in the S.A. in Vine Vale.

Working organically and fermenting with native yeasts in open tanks, ceramic eggs, and old wood, Tom lets his fruit and his soils speak clearly. His wines are lean, bright, and full of tension — shaped by sandy-loam soils over clay and by a philosophy of “nothing added, nothing taken away.”

From the juicy, sun-kissed vibrancy of Poolside, to the delicate, energy Riesling from Eden Valley, to the aromatic texture of Pedro & Chardonnay, every bottle carries Tom’s unmistakable clarity and purity. Small-scale, hand-crafted, and deeply rooted in place, Shobbrook Wines continue to redefine what the Barossa can be.
