Patrick Sullivan is a distinguished winemaker based in Gippsland, Victoria, renowned for his exceptional Chardonnay crafted from the region's unique volcanic soils.

The Bull Swamp vineyard was planted in 1982 by the Farrington family in the early 1980s on the very edge of the Warragul township. The Bull Swamp Chardonnay comes from the oldest plantings of P58 clone on a north-facing aspect of the site. Deep rich volcanic soils nourish what are dry grown grape vines. Elevation is 100m and this section of the vineyard receives the least amount of airflow relative to our other sites. The northerly aspect provides full sunlight and exposure resulting in powerful, rich fruit. 

The fruits was hand harvested and primary fermentation took places in barrique (30% new) over three weeks, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in barrique for 11 months. 

Intense citrus fruits, green apple, nectarines, hazelnut, grapefruits, and pineapple which give vibrant texture on the palate.  Impressive saline acidity drive the length and give long finish.
