Hubert de Castella's passion for the Yarra Valley saw him establish St Huberts in 1862. By the late 1800s it had grown to be the largest estate in the area. The wines enjoyed immediate and on-going success at wine shows both domestically and abroad. The onset of the Great Depression, the increasing popularity of fortified wine and the emerging profitability of dairy farming saw the vineyard revert to grazing in the 1920s. It wasn't until the 1960s that the Yarra Valley again rose to prominence as a wine region and St Huberts was once again one of the pioneers.

St Huberts The Stag Chardonnay is our second tier Chardonnay offering – first made in 2016. Just like the noble creature, The Stag tier of wines represents elegance, grace and esteem. Quintessentially Victorian, they are made in a classic cool-climate style.

Nose - Lifted citrus notes of lemon tart and candied peel meld with stone fruit aromas of peach kernel and tinned pears. In the mix are mineral flint, white flowers, and pie crust.

Palate - The wine is fresh, light and lively without being lean, with pear and lemon butter following on from the nose. Vibrant and restrained, with just a feather dusting of spicy oak. The finish is clean cut with lingering citrus notes.
