Margaret River began the growing season with a rain filled soil profile and full catchments. Late spring in Margaret River was mild and windy with a 4 day period of damaging north westerlies during flowering. This common spring weather pattern did affect flowering, set and subsequent yields in Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Other than this blustery start, the vintage was uniformly warm to hot and without significant summer rains. While yields were largely below average, the wines produced from the 2013 vintage are full of well-defined varietal fruit flavours, bright acidity and supple tannins. This vintage will be excellent for Chardonnay.

An evasive mix of honeysuckle, pear drop essence, citrus oils, brioche, minerals and spice.

The pliable fruit core of peach, dried pear and citrus is enhanced by a soft and enriching nut meal texture. A flinty/mineral acidity adds length and definition to finish the wine.

Brilliant lemon lime.
