Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Clone 95 chardonnay grown with love from our mates Jeremy, Catalina and family at the Marlborough famous ‘Escaroth Vineyard’ in Taylor Pass. We had the greatest day, hand picking in pure stickiness and sunshine with our family and friends alongside the wonderful community and family that Catalina and Jeremy bring.

The fruit was then crafted in our usual fashion; whole bunch pressed, fermented and aged in neutral barriques on lees for 10 months before bottling. Unfined and unfiltered. And like most of our wines super limited with 800 bottles made.

Honeydew Melon, Chamomile and Sunshine."

Top 50 Metro Wine Awards 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Another glorious bottle from the Marathon Downs team, underlining the potential for cared-for, minimal-intervention fruit from a great site in a region better known globally for a very different grape and wine style (sauvignon blanc). This is a chardonnay with personality. Vivid, energetic drive, fruit purity and a savoury, leesy note. This is a wine to take you on a journey; it’s one that totally outperforms a whole host of commercial chardonnays at a similar price point."
