Growing Conditions

Another challenging yet rewarding vintage for the premium, southern grape- growing regions of Western Australia. Winter rainfall was close to the long term average. The growing and ripening seasons, while largely warm and dry were punctuated with rains and windy conditions that did affect set and kept yields low in our Chardonnay clones. The mild end to the season saw all varieties ripen perfectly with high natural acidity and fine fruit structure.

Nose

Delicate scent of white field flowers, pear drop essence and citrus oils enriched with minerals, nutmeg spice and caramel.

Palate

A pliable fruit core of citrus, peach and dried pear is moulded around the fine nut -meal texture and crème brulee richness. The wine is finished with a fresh flint/mineral acidity to balance the ripe fruit.

Appearance

Vibrant green gold.

Food Pairing

Char-grilled marron drizzled with lime infused virgin olive oil.
