“There’s a kiss of the Western Australian sun here, shaped by a warm, dry, growing season. Expressive and inviting aromas of lemon confit, orange blossoms, honeysuckle, baking spices, yellow apples and white flowers. The midweight palate has a high-tension mouthfeel and real depth of flavor, leading into a powerful yet restrained finish. Already approachable yet with plenty of aging potential.”
96/100 Ryan Montgomery, James Suckling
This complex Chardonnay combines power with restraint and elegance. Produced from our two more mineral based sites, Violette’s and Lucas’ blocks four clones of Chardonnay have been planted to bring complex layers and interest from the vineyard and capture the site. The fruit’s integrity has remained intact with subtle secondary notes of poached pear and flint merely complementing the vibrant aromas of white nectarine, grapefruit and curry leaf. On the palate this wine leaves no doubt of its intentions – it is intense and textural, yet fresh and lively, finding the perfect balance between richness and finesse. Its fine acid backbone carries the exotic stone fruit, poached pear cashew and crème brûlée characters to an exceptionally long finish, showcasing the wines purity. A moreish and sophisticated Chardonnay, which is just an infant at this stage and will generously reward even short-term cellaring.
