Nose
Lovely lemon biscuit, with light peach and pineapple notes
meddle with a complexing lift of grapefruit pith, ghee, hints of
spicy ginger oak and savoury herbed bread crust.
Palate
The palate lands soft and creamy with a rapid mouthwatering
acidity. The flavour carries peach, pineapple and lemon
pith, finishing pleasantly dry and fresh with lingering savoury
spicy oak under the bright fruit.
Growing Conditions
Mild conditions in Margaret River with no extreme weather
conditions, allowing for balanced fruit and a slow and steady
intake. There was no disease pressure and fruit quality is excellent
the only disappointment was yields being down across the
Region for all key varieties. This was the outcome of storms in
Spring and pressure from an increase in the local population of
Silver Eyes (birds) and no Marri Blossom.
Winemaking
All parcels were treated in respect of the unique qualities coming
from our vineyard sites through natural fermentation with varying
solids levels, fine French oak and battonage programs tailored to
the individual batch. Following 9 months of maturation in oak, the
parcels with vibrant fruit perfumes and elegant fruit weight with
complex yeast and integrated oak as an overall blend, were
combined to create a unique vibrant complex varietal
Chardonnay from Margaret River.
