Ashley Horner Family Reserve Chardonnay 2013
About the wine
A Topshelf Beauty
- The latest wine from Ashley's Family Reserve range. His aim is to show that single vineyard wines can produce unique flavours and be consistent in quality.
- Best to drink now to enjoy the fresh stone fruit flavours, mineral acidity and wild flower / integrated oak aromas. But if you are a hard core chardy fan, it will definitely benefit from cellaring for a richer, creamier, oaky flavour over time.
- From the Upper Hunter, this property has been in the care of the Horner's since 1960 and has produced some of the Hunter Valley's best grapes... Ash is very proud of this wine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ashley Horner
- Born and bred in the Upper Hunter Valley, Ash worked in local vineyards while helping to establish his Family Vineyard.
- He's one of the most passionate people we've ever met! When asked what he loved most about his job, his answer was "Everything! I love the action during vintage and the progression of grapes becoming a bottle to enjoy. I love the diversity and the abstract thinking you can put into creating a wine product. I also love the diversity of the people that work in the industry and how winemaking makes me feel complete in my life".
- What's the difference between Ash and the rest? His grapes are from organic vineyards and are made using fully certified organic practices!
