Meet Liz.....
This is Liz. The amazing lady behind our single vineyard Chardonnay! Liz, along with husband Bernard, is one of the creators of Oakdene. Liz is an artist, and the brilliant mind behind the marvellous garden and surrounds that inspire our visitors at the Oakdene property.
It is Liz who came up with the idea for the Oakdene Upside-Down house cellar door that has become the iconic symbol of Oakdene. A selfie hotspot to say the least!
Chardonnay has noticeably evolved over the years and become so well refined that it is now a firm crowd favourite. We have two Chardonnays here at Oakdene, with differing degrees of oak content, acidity and complexities.
Both of these are well up there with our most popular, and top selling wines. Enjoy!
