COLOUR Pale straw.
NOSE Lifted aromas of honeydew and rockmelon, orange blossom, honey, and toasty oak.
PALATE A fresh and juicy palate full of citrus and white stone fruits. A creamy and nutty complexity fills out the mid palate, while a gentle oak tannin drives the wine through to a long, zesty finish.
WINEMAKING Harvested in the cool of the evening to retain varietal freshness. Gently pressed, settled overnight before racking to French oak barrels with some solids for textural integration into the wine throughout fermentaiton, maturation and lees stirring. This Chardonnay showcases complexity and elegant oak influence while still allowing the fresh varietal characters to shine through.
VINTAGE NOTES A wet Winter and Spring laid down great water reserves going into vintage 2022. A cool & wet Spring meant a slow start, with flowering and veraison tracking behind previous years, but the weather soon warmed up and ripening charged ahead. The warm, dry weather that came gave us great flavour concentration across all varieties and allowed for maturation of tannin & flavour with minimal disease pressure, providing for another great vintage in Margaret River.
