Hope Estate Chardonnay Mountain Wash Hunter Valley 2016 750 ML

Hope Estate was established in 1994 when Michael gave up his pharmacy career to do something he loved ? to make wine. Together with his wife Karen they purchased their first vineyard at Broke in the Hunter consisting of 30 acres of vines on a 250 acre property. The quality of fruit produced from these vineyards was exceptional and the potential of the area was further realised with more vines being planted. Being ideally suited to whites this was then followed up with a second purchase being 200 acres of the famed red basalt soil at Fordwich. This has since been planted with 100 acres of Shiraz and Merlot.
