2022 Chardonnay

Reviews

“A slightly more restrained and elegant style than some previous vintages. The nose displays a mix of lemon curd and crème brulee with an edgier quince paste character. It’s creamy and richly textured but with a tightening from the oak and a fine acidity to ensure it remains focused to a long finish. A chardonnay for the medium term.” – Ray Jordan 2023

Tasting Notes

This wine highlights the best that Margaret River chardonnay has to offer with rich aromas of stone fruit and pear abound, with a nicely balanced palate full of flavour. The barrel fermentation always gives the wine a generous textural component in the mouth that adds length and an impression of vanilla.

Background

Chardonnay has become the flagship white varietal from Margaret River. The 2022 vintage has lovely aromas of stone fruit - white peach and lovely oatmeal fragrance from lees contact. The palate is rich and full – distinctive Margaret River chardonnay. A long impression on the palate with the strong marriage of fruit and oak finish. After machine picking, the wine was made in a very traditional way with 100% barrel fermentation in new French oak barriques from the Alliers and Vosges forrests. After a year on yeast lees post fermentation the wine is racked, filtered and bottled.
