About This Wine

'Crafted as a study in elegance and refinement, the Coates Blanc de Blancs 2016 starts with hand-picked Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that is natural yeast fermented in seasoned French oak barrels and held on full yeast and malo lees for 18 months. Method Traditionelle fermentation follows with three years lees ageing in bottle. Disgorged in late November 2023 with zero dosage, no filtration and no additives apart from minimal sulphur'-Duane Coates MW

Man of many talents; Duane Coates bases himself in McLaren Vale, though his winery is in the Adelaide Hills, however he sources from all over South Australia. Having spent time in Burgundy, Rhone and Portugal his wines pay homage to the old world styles he has come to love. Still being true to Australia's climate, he has explored which grapes suit his terroir in a pragmatic, transparent way. 

Beautiful fragrant classics, some slightly left of field reds and certain enjoyment make Coates wines a no brainer. 

Duane Coates is, by his own admission, a ‘heart over head’ winemaker. Inclined to make wine from almost any interesting parcel of fruit made available to him. For Duane, making great wine is not about business decisions; it’s about curiosity, passion, and a little bit of folly.
