Nose
A lifted nose of white peach and nectarine with notes of lemon thyme and white flowers, supported by a whiff of caramel oak.
Palate
Rich and complex palate of stone fruits and custard apple with a hazelnut praline lift. Fine citrus acidity balanced by creamy textural mouthfeel with brioche notes.
Growing Conditions
A mild growing season associated with moderate crop led to slow and even ripening during harvest 2021, preserving good acidity and balance while intensifying varietal characters across all the white varieties.
Our 2021 Chardonnay is a blend of our three favourite batches that year: a field blend of Burgundian clones we grow in a pocket of the Wilyabrup area with its own cool and dry micro-climate, a Gingin selection from our original Jindong property, and a batch of Gingin fruit from the cool, crisp Karridale area.
