Because of the excessive rain in the Hunter Valley ruining the grapes at vintage 2008 we did not make a 2008 Reserve Chardonnay.

This newsletter sees the release of the 2009 Reserve Chardonnay exclusively to our mail list customers.

It is available for purchase only until the end of December 2009 and will then be withdrawn from sale so we shall have good stock levels when it arrives on the wine show circuit mid 2010. When it is re-released the price will be higher.

We commend this wine to you and with the discounts available to you as club or mail list members it makes very attractive buying.

We believe this wine will, with time, prove to be as good as our multi trophy winning 2004 Reserve Chardonnay.

Since the first vintage of this single vineyard wine in 2003 every vintage has won major awards. In total they have won 4 Championships, over 15 trophies and in excess of 20 Gold medals.

This track record saw Winewise Magazine in their December 2008 issue declare that

“This Mistletoe Reserve Chardonnay is probably now the best Chardonnay in the Hunter Valley”
