IdentityCHANDON AUSTRALIA
By the mid 1980s, Australia had a well-established wine tradition. That was for still wines. For quality reds, the Australian consumer was quite happy to buy Australian. But it was a different story for fizz.The thing was to find land. What Tony Jordan, Chandon Australia first chief winemaker, wanted was a cool-climate area with enough diversity of terroir and climate to give him maximum blending options.
Jordan found Green Point, a tumbledown estate in Coldstream, an hour’s drive northeast of Melbourne, in the heart of the Yarra Valley, with view that would make an angel weep. He knew he’d struck gold.
Making sparkling wine is very difficult and technical – the tasting base wines, the blending. There’s a sort of subtlety and a crystal-ball element to making sparkling that I love.

ICON
The Original. The first wine ever made at Chandon Australia. A deliciously soft, fresh and creamy wine with incredible length and finesse. A showcase of our viticulture, heritage and know-how.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT OUR TABLE
Guests can take a self-guided tour, learning about our pioneering vision and the craftsmanship involved in making quality sparkling wine.
We have a beautiful restaurant serving modern French-Australian cuisine mastered by our chef, Joshua Smyth, who previously worked in restaurants in England and France, including the three-Michelin-starred Petit Nice-Passedat in Marseille.
But we’re also keen to show that our sparkling needn’t be a formal affair, so there’s a lounge bar with sharing platters and a wonderful terrace with access to that view.
