Description Cool climate Aussie Chardonnay is in vogue, and this single vineyard Tumbarumba from Jason Brown, owner of the highly successful Moppity Vineyards in Hilltops, is a prime example. It boasts a Gold and 94pts. Delicious. As Coppabella’s website tells us: “Sirius is the brightest star in the constellation; a fitting name for our flagship wine. The best of the vineyard’s fruit is reserved, usually coming from our prized block, Block 20 exclusively for Sirius.'
Vineyards are found at altitudes ranging from 300 to 800 metres (984 to 2624 feet). Vines have been grown in Tumbarumba since 1982 and currently there are more than 25 vineyards in the region. Due to the region's colder climate, the majority of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are used for sparkling wine. However, when conditions allow, both grape varieties have been used to produce still wine. Vines were established at Tumbarumba in 1982.
Tumbarumba is a charming town offering an unspoilt experience for visitors. The dramatic peaks of the Snowy Mountains to the east, the bubbling streams and green fields offer a peaceful, gentle ambience. The cool climate wines on offer are something to savour, especially when matched with regional food.
