2025 HALLIDAY DARK HORSE WINERY WINNER
96 Points, Halliday Wine Companion - “Lemon sherbert, key lime pie, yellow guava and orange blossom. Delightfully fresh and vibrant with a real undertow of sweetness and succulent acidity. Like the tide receding before a tsunami before a wave of wild citrus, orchard apples and stony, grey slate minerality. There is a peach fuzz like fur of phenolics and a long flavour length. A scintillating wine, utterly delectable and impossible to put down. Drink by 2033” (7 August 2024)
ABOUT CHALOU WINES
Steve and Nadja both grew up on family vineyards. 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 traveling 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 has spent the past 7 years winemaking for renowned local brand “Philip Shaw Wines”. In 2020 they purchased a vineyard in Orange and here they have developed their own band ChaLou Wines. They are passionate about what they do, making expressive delicious wine and are dedicated to working sustainably with the land. ChaLou was a 2022 finalist for the Young Gun of Wine Award.
Description
Pale and bright lemon colour in the glass. Makrut lime and papaya aromas. A distinctly off-dry style with precise lime and mango fruits filling across the tongue. A saline minerality adds depth whilst both acidity and a crunch pf phenolics ensure the sweetness is balanced well. Lingers long and is screaming for some spicy Thai food alongside.
