Tumblong Hills Tumbarumba Chardonnay

At Tumblong Hills, our sustainable environmental practices create a healthy vine micro-climate, which we believe produce a better and more reliable harvest of higher-quality wine grapes. We believe in the continuous improvement of our practices and in respecting the fundamentals of nature for the benefit of future generations.

Sustainably maintaining a superior soil structure is integral to all vineyard practices at Tumblong Hills. We achieve this in part by repurposing vineyard organic waste and encouraging a diverse mix of pasture plant species. Our organic-rich topsoil, known as humus, contains beneficial micro-organisms that maintain soil health and provide an ideal environment for the vines to feed naturally, which offsets the need for artificial fertilisers. With a focus on healthy soil diversity, our preference is to under-vine till, and to utilise neighbouring sheep to seasonally graze our vineyard pastures. Our healthy soils have an enhanced ability to retain moisture, reducing our reliance on water drawn from our magnificent and precious neighbour, the Murrumbidgee River.

Our ethos in the vineyard is simple: better soil structure, better grape cell structure giving a better wine structure.

This wine is a perfect companion to poultry, lobster, and shellfish. Rich, creamy sauces, soft cheeses like brie and camembert, and earthy mushrooms bring out its layered complexity.

It also works beautifully with grilled or pan-fried fish, including raw seafood like sashimi. Poached or steamed chicken, cheddar, onion, garlic, roasted root vegetables, squash, fresh herbs, toasted nuts and seeds, pasta, potatoes, and whole grains make excellent pairings.
