The Winery
Chalkers Crossing commissioned its state-of-the-art winery just
north of Young, New South Wales, in March, 2000 - just in time
for vintage. The winery has all the modern wine-making equipment
necessary to produce the highest possible quality of wine from
its grapes. Equipment includes a Vintek pneumatic press; a Bucher
crusher / destemmer and must pump; and over 200,000 litres of stainless
steel, temperature controlled storage and fermentation tanks. In
addition the winery has eight large temperature controlled rooms
to provide the winemaker with the ability to control the process
at all stages.
Our winemaker is Celine Rousseau. Celine was born in France, studied
in Paris and trained in Bordeaux. She gained experience in Bordeaux,
Champange, St Emilion and Languedoc in France, and in the Margaret
River and Perth Hills in Western Australia before coming to the Hilltops
Region in 2000 for the first Chalkers Crossing vintage.
Celine became
an Australian citizen in 2002. Celine's skills and experience are
evident in the quality of our wines and recognised by the awards
they have received.
