The Details

Tasting Note Pale lemon in colour. Ripe yellow peach and nectarine aromas with hints of cashews and a touch of flint. These flavours are joined on the palate by guava, pink grapefruit and lemon zest. A medium to full bodied wine that has a savoury and slightly salty oyster shell feel on the mid-palate that leads into a long, mineral finish.
Best Enjoyed With Enjoy with barramundi and lemon butter sauce; tofu and shiitake mushroom pho; or olives in a blanket
Treatment From the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River, grapes were harvested and crushed in early March, followed by fermentation and maturation for ten months in French oak barriques, with 10% new oak. With texture and firm acidity, this wine promises excellent aging potential for up to ten plus years.

Accolades

A slick, well positioned wine
It’s the dead of winter, my house is a construction site, running more than one appliance short circuits the power, and I cohabitate with a small family of possums. Honestly, I’m fine. Disclaimer: I’m not fine. So, when wines like this land on my desk, they are welcomed moments of reprieve. Clean, bright, and soul warming, its fruits are ripe with white nectarine, pears in juice and a gentle lean into tropical territory. The mid-palate balances a comforting fruit sweetness, coated with a clotted cream silkiness. Some savoury barrel ferment, a dusting of spice and cashew nougat on the finish makes for a slick, well positioned wine. A classic modern Australian expression, and a welcomed silver (golden) lining.

This is a fruity-and-fresh chardonnay
Pears, apples, toffee and citrus. This is a fruity-and-fresh chardonnay with sweet, tinned pear flavours as the dominant driver and with a gentle steeliness to the finish. It’s uncomplicated but satisfying enough, courtesy of the fresh, juicy fruit.
