Le Sorelle

Heathcote, Victoria, Australia

Le Sorelle, meaning "the sisters" in Italian, is a project by Kim and Tennille Chalmers that reflects their shared passion for wine, regional expression and Italian heritage. The label brings together two varieties, Shiraz and Fiano, from two distinct sites — Heathcote and Mildura. With deep roots in alternative Italian varieties, the Chalmers family has long championed Fiano in Australia. The Le Sorelle Fiano is grown in the hot, dry conditions of the Merbein Vineyard in Murray Darling, where the variety consistently thrives and delivers outstanding quality. This wine reflects Kim and Tennille’s love for Fiano and its adaptability across diverse Australian regions. In contrast, the Le Sorelle Shiraz is grown on the red Cambrian soils of their estate vineyard in Heathcote. While Shiraz is a well-established variety in the region, this wine offers a more refined interpretation. Carefully selected clones and a focus on balance and restraint result in a style that is elegant and site-driven, offering a fresh take on an Australian classic.
