Route du Van
Route du Van operates in the Yarra Valley, Victoria's most celebrated cool-climate region. The winery draws on the area's signature strengths: Shiraz with structure and restraint, Cabernet Sauvignon with clarity, and Chardonnay with precision. The Street Art Shiraz–Cabernet blend and Dolcetto–Shiraz both demonstrate a command of dark-fruit varieties across the portfolio. A pure Chardonnay rounds out the range, reflecting the region's capacity for white-wine complexity. Wine Spectator has rated these releases, positioning them within a framework of critical assessment. The Yarra Valley's cool nights and moderate rainfall create conditions for wines of balance rather than extraction—a character evident across Route du Van's output.
