The Wine

We were lucky and crazy enough to get the call from Gerald Naef half way through harvest offering the entire Patina Vineyard to us that year, consisting of Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Merlot. A significant and unexpected uptick in our resultant production threatened, but the prospects of working with the fruit from this rugged, meticulously managed and high quality vineyard was too good to turn down.

The Chardonnay, in this case was whole bunch pressed and sent to concrete with only the very heaviest of solids left behind after settling without any refrigeration for a short, 12 hour period. From this point on, the wine was fermented by wild yeasts, without any temperature control and underwent a full secondary fermentation. It was held on full yeast lees without any stirring through the winter and was sulphured in the Spring. 

The final blend was brought together in January 2025 and bottled on February 20th without any fining or filtration.  Winery Notes

94 Pts Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront,  'Chardonnay from the NSW Central Ranges (or to be more precise: Orange). This is excellent. Excellent concentration of fruit and personality plus. Honeysuckle, lychee, peach, citrus and nectarine with cream and sweet cedar-spice notes. Full box and dice in a way, but controlled and cohesive. All this at 12.5% alcohol. Like this wine a lot.'

94 Pts Andrew Graham, Australian Wine & Drinks Review '...I love the texture, indeed it’s a mark of all the Renzaglia wines, with this feeling intense, thick (a good thick), mouthfilling, yet it snaps and crunches properly too. Wonderful. No doubt the winemaking helps with the texture – wild ferments, full malo, carefully handled solids, the lot. It’s a bit funky, but not cheesy, with custard apple. lemon, yeasty aftershave musk, layers of marzipan and meringue, with a lovely lemon tang contrast. Well done.'

About the Wine Maker

Mark & Sandy Renzaglia took on the challenge of establishing a small vineyard in O’Connell Valley near Bathurst in 1997. There was no power, no town water, no neighbours growing grapes, just determination. Now their son Sam is on the hunt, taking Renzaglia Wines to the next level, seeking modern expressions from grapes sourced locally, and really pushing the conversation around responsible, sustainable, respectful farming in NSW. Renzaglia The family home, the Bella Luna Vineyard, and the winery are nestled in the rolling hills of the locality of O’Connell. It looks out over the O’Connell Valley to the north-east and further towards the Winburndale Nature Reserve, Mt Ovens and Mt Horrible. From this patch of dirt, the Renzaglia family have been tending to two acres of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot since 1997. Recent plantings of Tempranillo, Grenache, Shiraz, Viognier, and Chardonnay were added to the mix in 2020, plus Sangiovese this year.
