An elegant Chardonnay with aromatics of Meyer lemon and stone fruit. The wine has a generous fruit profile, tropical fruits, and toasty oak. Fine acidity and a rich mouthfeel led to a long finish.
A Slightly longer than a normal vintage, but very fulfilling. Peak dry weather conditions, combined with the absence of any significant climatic events or disease pressure, created conditions for a mild season, ideal for gentle, consistent ripening across all varieties. The fruit for this wine is from the northern Margaret River, showing the ripe and rich tropical fruit profile of the season along with soft acidity from partial secondary fermentation.
Harvested in the cool hours of early morning and gently crushed/pressed at the winery upon receival. The juice was settled and racked into a tank with a high percentage of solids for fermentation. Inoculation with an aromatic yet complex yeast strain and cool fermentation temperatures. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel and French oak barriques. Post-fermentation regular battonage with no SO2 to build flavour and allow some secondary fermentation to occur. After six months of maturation, the wine was sulphured and then blended in preparation for the bottle.

"It's elegantly fragrant on the nose with white flesh nectarine, citrus peel, cashew and subtle vanilla nuances, followed by a finely flowing palate that's succulent and lingering. Beautifully poised and restrained with a lengthy focused finish. At its best: now to 2030. $32.00"

"The seductive texture in this delicious Margaret River Chardonnay is very much the highlight. A pale lemon hue. The nose is all melons, stonefruits, spices and lemons. Touch of nuts adds to the complexity, reminiscent of cashews with good overall balance and focus. An alluring silky palate impresses and those stonefruit and citrus notes really come to the fore here finishing with good length. Drink now and for three to five years."
