There is a real definition of small berries here, with blueberry and ripe Marion berry, taut black-skinned plum, a rustic note of oregano and moist dirt. Assertive acidity and lacy tannins knit together. The soft fernery of the whole bunch plays well.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 93 Points - Shanteh Wale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003e40% whole bunch.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eGrapes were left to cold soak for 4 days prior to fermentation with native yeast.

Nadja in Canowindra (40 minutes down the hill from Orange) and Steve in Wauchope, not far from Port Macquarie.  They first met when studying winemaking at Charles Sturt University together in 2008.  Following their studies they each went their separate ways working and travelling in wine both domestically and abroad. In 2014 they each came to Orange for winemaking opportunities and from then on they have been inseparable. Steve started in Orange as a part of the winemaking team at Cumulus Wines before taking the reins of Nadja’s family winery “Wallington Wines” in 2017, overseeing the viticulture, winemaking and wine sales. Nadja worked as winemaker at renowned local brand “Philip Shaw Wines” where she had the opportunity to work with fruit from across Orange and learn the versatility of the region. In 2020 they purchased a vineyard in Orange and here they have developed their own brand ChaLou Wines. They are passionate about what they do, making expressive delicious wine and are dedicated to working sustainably with the land.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange, New South Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steve Mobbs \u0026amp; Nadja Wallington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable Farming, Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47245272154261,"sku":"5853","price":53.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1250948.jpg?v=1776227040","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/chalou-pinot-noir-2025","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
