Cellar or drinkWhite wineAustraliaStelvinNew release

Phase Three Wines is a winemaker to watch, that’s quickly gaining recognition for its combination of innovation and traditional winemaking, and the 2023 High Eden Chardonnay is a perfect example of why. This release, their third after the 2019 and 2020 vintages, wasn’t originally planned, but with their drinking stock running low, it felt like the right time. A few quick phone calls later, they found the perfect vineyard not far from their home, up towards High Eden, and set to work hand-picking the fruit on a cool day. Only 487 bottles were produced, making this a rare find that will be worth following as it evolves over time.

From the winemaker

What the maker says about this wine 👇

2023 is made up of predominantly Ebenezer muscle with the structure and complexity of our Eden Valley sites. This release sees the dominant component being from Adrian Hoffmann's DV Wolf's Block & Sand Block. With a firm handshake from Mark Bartholomaeus's Gnarly & Mighty Eden Valley Vineyard planted in the late 1800's & Nathan Burley's ripper dry grown patch in Flaxman Valley. And of course, the customary back vintage Barrique of Dero. The Barrique of 2022 looked real good! And played its part with dark broody intensity. This blend sees an average vine age of close to 80 years old to tell the story. To us 2023 Dero is a tasty, vibrant deep & complex release. And like all before it loves a big whiff of air to open up and show its full potential
