Tasting
Only 10,000 bottles were produced with the fruit coming from the gin gin Chardonnay clone from vines planted in 1985.
The wine is a stand out example of Margaret River Chardonnay, and has benefited from a few years on the bottle. In terms of colour the wine is a light golden hue with a nose of worked stone fruits, fig and wafts of spicy tight grained French oak. The wine flows effortlessly with a melange of peach and nectarine fruits given a citrus and spice backdrop to work with, there is complex fig and almond meal on the layered finish.
Drinking well now but will reward further cellaring.
