What Wines Does Chalkers Crossing Offer?
Updated
Chalkers Crossing focuses on premium quality cool climate single vineyard wines, and its site highlights three current "Best Picks": the 2015 CC2 Hilltops Shiraz, the 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Tumbarumba, and the 2014 Hilltops Shiraz. Each is labelled with both its vintage and its region of origin, so you can tell at a glance which NSW growing area it comes from. The site also includes a shopping cart, which indicates the wines can be purchased online rather than only in person.
The Featured Wines
The homepage presents these as "Some of Our Most Popular Quality Wines":
| Wine | Vintage | Region |
|---|---|---|
| CC2 Hilltops Shiraz | 2015 | Hilltops, NSW |
| Sauvignon Blanc Tumbarumba | 2015 | Tumbarumba, NSW |
| Hilltops Shiraz | 2014 | Hilltops, NSW |
Each listing links to a "Read More" page, where fuller detail on the individual wine would sit.
What the Range Tells You
Two things stand out from the featured selection:
- Shiraz is a core strength. Two of the three highlighted wines are Shiraz from the Hilltops region, including a "CC2" bottling alongside a standard Hilltops Shiraz. If you are choosing between them, the vintage differs (2015 versus 2014) and the CC2 appears to be a distinct label within the same region.
- There is a white option. The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc comes from Tumbarumba rather than Hilltops, so the range spans two regions rather than one.
Because the site describes the wines as single vineyard and cool climate, the regional labelling is not decorative — it is the organising principle of the range.
Where the Grapes Come From
The two regions named on the wine listings are the same two the winery identifies as its terroir:
- Hilltops — located around the town of Young in southern NSW, described as known for cool climate conditions.
- Tumbarumba — located at the foot of the Snowy Mountains, described as one of the most remote wine-growing regions in NSW.
So if you see "Hilltops" or "Tumbarumba" on a bottle, it points directly to one of the winery's two vineyard areas.
Buying the Wines
The site carries a shopping cart, which is the clearest signal that wines can be ordered online. The homepage does not list prices, payment methods, or shipping terms, so those details would need to be confirmed on the individual wine pages or at checkout. The winery also lists a phone number, 02 6382 6900, and a cellar door address at 285 Henry Lawson Way, Young NSW 2594, for anyone who prefers to buy in person or ask about availability directly.
A Note on Vintages
The wines shown are from 2014 and 2015, and the site presents them as current best picks. If you are looking for a specific vintage, it is worth confirming availability before ordering, since featured selections on a winery site can change as stock moves.
