Plan a wine trip to Chalkers Crossing — Femente builds the route.
Chalkers Crossing is situated in Hilltops, a cool-climate region in Southern New South Wales known for producing refined white wines with natural acidity and mineral character. The winery focuses on classic varieties that thrive in the area's conditions: Sémillon, Riesling, and Chardonnay form the core of its portfolio. These whites have been assessed by major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Sémillon and Riesling both average 88.4 in prestige ratings, reflecting the region's particular affinity for these aromatic and age-worthy expressions. The Chardonnay averages 88.2, demonstrating consistent quality across the range. Hilltops' elevation and diurnal temperature variation create the conditions for wines with structure and freshness—hallmarks of cool-climate viticulture in southeastern Australia.
