Cheviot Bridge Yea Valley
Cheviot Bridge Yea Valley showcases the excellence of the fruit produced by four vineyard owners in Victoria’s high country, a cool climate region ideally suited to growing Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
The wines are a tribute to the traditional French styles of Chablis, Bordeaux and Rhone.
Yea Valley Chardonnay |
 |
Our objective was to make a traditional “Chablis” style of wine, it has delightful colour green/gold and bright. The aroma has lemon, spice and stone fruit characters. The flavour is complex and long with a crisp finish. We have bottled the wine in screw cap so it will age gracefully. |

Fermentation was carried out in small open fermenters with the juice pumped over twice a day to ensure good colour and flavour. Maturation was then carried out in small French oak for 18 months. The wine has lovely aroma of dark berries and chocolate. |

Yea Valley Shiraz |
 |
The wine has a lovely aroma of dark berries, chocolate and spice. The wood is there but it complements rather than dominates. The flavour is balanced, complex and long. We have bottled the wine in screw cap so it will mature slowly and gracefully. |
