TOURNON Location: Victoria Established: 2009 Principal: Michel Chapoutier (Owner & Vigneron) Hectares: 42 planted (38 in the Pyrenees, 4 in Heathcote) KEY POINTS: 1. In 2009 Michel Chapoutier purchased two Australian vineyards: Shays Flat Estate and Landsborough Valley Estate in the Victorian Pyrenees. He recognized that the cool weather patterns and diversity of soil and exposures in this region would allow him to make distinctive wines from the grapes of his homeland in the Rhone Valley. 2. Named after the Hermitage commune, Tournon leads the movement in Australia towards elegant, balanced wines. The philosophy centers on respect – respect for the terroir, the fruit, and the consumer. 3. Organic viticulture practiced since 2009, certified in 2018. Small batch, minimal intervention winemaking. 4. Mathilda wines are named as a tribute to Michel Chapoutier’s daughter, Mathilde, as well as the unofficial Australian national anthem, “Waltzing Mathilda.” CORE SKU S :
