This Chard is comparably dense and rich, while still maintaining balance. There are notes of toast, cream and flint alongside lemon-lime and peach fruit. There's also a regional saline character. Oak and concentrated fruit make up the palate, but it's structured for the long haul, with length and lovely fruit purity. It should hold through 2030. ... More details

Pale gold. Honeydew melon, pineapple and a hint of tangerine on the expansive nose. In a plush, open-knit style, showing good depth as well as energy to the juicy citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Tightens up with air and finishes long and precise, with a suave floral note emerging.

Spiced apple, pear, peach, melon and honeysuckle on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with fresh acidity and a juicy, round palate. Fresh finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
Winery
Redolent in heaven-sent aromas of fresh and fabulous citrus, melon, peach and pear fruit notes that define Margaret River Chardonnay. These primary aromas are subtly highlighted with caramel and vanilla pod spice, to add complexity and anticipation. The palate exudes fleshy primary fruit, laced with lemon butter and brioche. A fine, chalk like texture, bright acidity and subtle use of oak adds length, dimension and structure to the wine.

Varietal: Chardonnay

In the past couple of decades, the sales of wines made with Chardonnay grapes has risen and fallen more than once. For many people, this green skinned grape was marred by a poor reputation for bland and uninteresting wines, a great shame considering the fact that Chardonnay grapes have proven time and time again to be interesting, versatile and full of surprises. Most commonly, fine Chardonnay wines are buttery, smooth and creamy as a result of malolactic fermentation, yet with hints of tropical fruits and orchard fruits such as apples and pears. What is most remarkable about Chardonnay grapes, however, is the fact that unlike many other 'white' grapes, they are exceptionally good at holding the characteristics of their terroir in the bottle. As such, despite their fluctuating reputation, this is one grape varietal which produces constantly surprising, impressive and varied wines.

Region: Margaret River

In south west Australia, the most important wine region by far is surely that of Margaret River, a humid and warm region which produces up to twenty percent of Australia's total wines. Margaret River has been an important wine producing region for some time now, and currently there are around fifty thousand hectares under vine, with around one hundred and fifty wineries using the land there for growing grapes of remarkable quality and flavor. The region is renowned for its versatility, and both red and white grapes thrive well in Margaret River. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes which Australia has become famous for flourish particularly well in the fine climate of Margaret River, alongside excellent white varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Sémillon.

Country: Australia

Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.
