Darling Estate Aligoté 2022 is a beautifully bright and textured expression of Burgundy’s ‘other’ white grape. Wild fermented and aged on lees for 12 months in a mix of old French oak and ceramic, it showcases delicate pear, citrus, and stone fruit notes, with a refreshing acidity and generous palate. The vineyard’s elevation and cool nights lend a distinct minerality and complexity to the wine, making it a standout in Australian Aligoté. Awarded Gold at the North East Victorian Wine Challenge 2023, it was also named the Chief Judge’s ‘Wine to Watch.’

About the Winemakers
Grace + Sophie Darling | Darling Estate

Grace and Sophie Darling are at the helm of Darling Estate, continuing a winemaking legacy that began when their great-grandfather, Frederick Darling, settled in Cheshunt in 1919. What started as apple orchards and tobacco farming evolved into vineyards, with Guy Darling planting the first vines in the King Valley in 1970. For decades, Koombahla fruit supplied Brown Brothers, contributing to award-winning wines before the family began producing their own under the Darling Estate label in the 1990s.

Today, the sisters oversee both vineyard and winemaking operations, pioneering Australian Aligoté with the country’s largest planting of the variety. Their commitment to minimal intervention winemaking and sustainable vineyard practices ensures wines that are pure, expressive, and true to the terroir.
