Willow Lake Chardonnay 2025
Willow Lake Vineyard is located at Gladysdale in the Upper Yarra, with vines planted between 1979 and 1982, making it one of the oldest sites in the sub-region. Gladysdale sits at the southern end of the valley where surrounding forests create a mesoclimate that contributes to the supple structure and rich aromatics characteristic of the area.
The vineyard is situated at 300 metres elevation on slightly north-facing slopes, composed of volcanic basalt-derived soils that encourage deep root development. Viticulturist Tim Wray has been at Willow Lake since 1996, and focuses on ecosystem balance to produce strong and healthy vines for high quality grapes.
