2019 Nazaaray, Chardonnay, Mornington Peninsula

Nazaaray is a winery founded by Mr Paramdeep Ghumman on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. He is of Indian background and works alongside his doctor wife, Nirmal.  We understand that he first tried wine on an airplane at 30 when travelling to Australia, and immediately fell in love with it.While he and his wife were living in Melbourne, his mind was in the Mornington Peninsula, on a piece of land which he finally ended up purchasing.  He planted Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.He employs conventional winemaking methods but with traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques such as natural viticulture, no irrigation and hand-harvesting which results in production of small batches of handmade wines. Oh, and lots of passion thrown in for good measure.
