2023 ChaLou Pinot Noir

An authentic “bud to bottle” winery and vineyard in Orange, NSW. Owners and vignerons, Nadja and Steve combine their passion and talents to produce wines that reflect the ever-changing nature of their vineyard. They clearly love their work and evoking time and place is central to the identity of ChaLou.

A cool climate winery, Nadja + Steve have a strong connection to the land and a genuine love for farming. They use organic and biodynamic practices to grow their grapes and make their wines. They believe in minimal intervention and natural fermentation, letting the terroir and the vintage express themselves in the bottle. Their wines are complex and layered, with fine balance and structure.

ChaLou Wines was recently named 2025 Halliday Dark Horse Winery. This national award recognises the most exciting wine brand nominee elevating to a 5-star status for the first time.
