I think sometimes this wine is overshadowed by the Heytesbury, which sits above it. However, it is an error to underestimate this wine. It may not have the funk nor the phenolic framework that the Heytesbury has, however it is possessed of a poise, polish and class that enables it to sit well in any glass. The 2020 vintage was warm, and the wines produced that year have been across the board excellent. In the 2020 Chardonnay, we see a combination of experienced hand and fortunate season in confluence, which brings us a wine that speaks of salted crushed nuts, pure apple, peach and even juniper, saltbush, a touch of kelp and layers of briney acidity. A brilliant wine.

Impressive for its vitality and intensity, offering lemon curd, salted butterscotch and dried pineapple flavors, with Fuji apple and fresh ginger accents. The flavors are amplified and harmonious on the long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2030. 4,500 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add
