2024 Estate Chardonnay

colour

Pale straw with a golden hue.

aroma

White flowers, nectarine and lemon peel aromas with warm toasty almond biscuit.

palate

This wine displays juicy white peach flavours with an underlying citrus freshness. This is a medium bodied Chardonnay with vibrant notes of candied lime peel and rich roasted cashews.

cellaring

This wine may be enjoyed on release but will find further complexity with two to three of years ageing.

vintage

2024 was one of the earliest vintages ever seen in Margaret River. Consistently warm and dry conditions allowed for exceptional fruit ripeness and flavours with a very well-balanced natural acidity for such a hot year. Extensive marri blossom meant pest pressure in the vineyard was minimal. The quality of fruit is fantastic and 2024 has produced some very exciting wines with flavour definition and structure.

winemaking

Fruit was sourced from across the Margaret River region for this delightfully complex yet eminently drinkable wine. Fermentation was carried out using wild yeast and the wine was left to mature on lees for six months in new and seasoned French oak imparting great texture and length.
