Nose
Text book Devils Lair Chardonnay. Very expressive and layered with
lemon meringue, pink grapefruit and subtle nougat.
Palate
Fine depth, complex texture and subtle oak. The natural acid
provides power and a lingering chalky minerality
Growing Conditions
Margaret River again experienced another strong
vintage. Cool, yet sunny and mild with ocean breeze typified the growing
season. This cooler southern influence allowed Chardonnay grapes to retain
strong natural acidity and show exceptional bright stone fruit flavours and soft
fine phenolics.
Harvest
March 2016.
Winemaking
9 months in 40% new French Oak barriques and 60% in one
and two year old French oak barriques.
Appearance
Pale straw green.
