WINEMAKER'S NOTES
A blend of several vineyards, this wine is finely honed with good acidity and attractive complex barrel fermented Chardonnay notes, so typical of the style from Margaret River.
TASTING NOTES

Aroma: Melon and nectarine fruits over complex Chardonnay lift from the glass adding complexity and depth to the overall impression.
Palate: Dry and medium bodied, the wine has fine initial Chardonnay flavours that lead to a generous and creamy middle. The palate is quite textured and structured and has a fine persistent finish.
Food matching: Barramundi with mango salsa.
Cellaring: Medium tern cellaring.
Alcohol: 13.5% vol Standard drinks: approx 8.0

I find that this newish Margaret River winery gives consistent value for money. With understated peach and butter aromas, and a layer of barrel complexity, this is more than just a simple fruit wine. Clean finish and smooth texture. 90/100 Food Chicken with cashews. Huon Hooke

3 stars. A complex, nutty/oaky mix of aromas and a big, full-bodied oaky palate that has enough fruit to match.
