The wine is unwooded, with fermentation occurring in stainless steel tanks and then bottled at an early age. A low temperature, protective regime was adopted during its production, thereby preserving the finer fruit characters.
Brilliant appearance in the glass, pale straw with green hues. Fermentation in stainless steel tank allows the full expression of Chardonnay fruit aroma without the influence of oak or lees resulting in a bright, clean tropical fruit bouquet.
The palate is rich with tropical fruits, clean zippy acidity balances the sweet fruit character resulting in a bright fresh flavoursome palate. When good quality Chardonnay is used unwooded Chardonnay takes on a whole new level of depth and intensity.
The Margaret River wine region has had an unprecedented run of excellent vintages. Since the difficult 2006 season which was cold and wet we have an outstanding run including the latest installment.
Margaret River enjoys a Mediterranean climate with cool winters with good rainfall and moderate summers with very little rainfall - ideal conditions for winegrapes.
