Out of Step

Out of Step is the micro virtual winery of David Chatfield and Nathan Reeves. Nathan is currently in Tasmania on a sabbatical from the business, while David continues to work on the label as well as helping to look after the vineyards at Oakridge. Along the way they have variously chalked up experience at Stella Bella (Margaret River), Lusatia Park (now owned by De Bortoli), Sticks Yarra Valley and Vinify (California). Their initial foray was a Sauvignon Blanc from the acclaimed Willowlake Vineyard (Yarra Valley), a Chardonnay from Denton View Hill Vineyard (Yarra Valley) and a Nebbiolo from the Malakoff Vineyard in the Pyrenees. Exports to Singapore, Hong Kong and China. -JAMES HALLIDAY
