About this Wine

It is a provocative, complex and textural wine exuding the seductive spirit of “old world” chardonnay. The vines have been managed to allow only dappled light into the fruiting zone. This promotes flavor development, low tannins and bright levels of natural acidity. The fruit is farmed in the cool southern end of Margaret River. The tiny 100g Gin Gin clusters are hand harvested at first light to preserve freshness of fruit.

Hand picked whole bunch pressed – wild yeasts full Malo-lactic fermentation – aged in 40% new 228ltr medium toast Vosges and Allier for 10 months

 "Adds another dimension to Dukes' Purus chardonnay. The aim is to capture the rich texture of this variety and express it with a deeply layered complexity, while retaining that keen fresh minerally thread. Savoury butterscotch and crème brulee swirl through an engaging palate defined by a keen acid and a little grapefruit to close. Just a beautiful wine.’ 97 pts Ray Jordan, Ray Jordan Wine.

‘The 2022 Chardonnay Artus is made 100% from the Gingin clone and is a powerful and modern wine offering nectarine and mango aromas with a strong line of toasty oak accented by chalky complexity. Long and sleek, the 2022 delivers abundant levels of flavor with a charming exotic lift. The fine acidity keeps the creamy texture in check. Expressive and already drinking well, the 2022 will build in the bottle. Drink 2025-2-35” 96pts Angus Hughson, vinous.com Review  SMAY 2024

"A touch of funk here, some smoky sulfides and toasty barrel derived character allied with nougat honey and toasted nuts. A wine of refinement and restraint as well as good depth of flavour, the refreshing acidity towing the flavour long through an extended finish. (Karridale fruit, Gingin clone; underwent malolactic) Drink 2023-2-32” 95 pts Huon Hooke, The Real Review 20 SEP 2023

"Classy nose, with buttery brioche, lemon drop, apricot florals, dusky rose, daisies, sea spray, curry leaf and sesame seed. Toasty, charry oak elevates the experience. On the palate, shimmering acidity provides a backbone for the interplay of fruit and oak. A creamy core of preserved lemon- and frankincense-laced nougat. Nuanced, detailed and characterful.

Margaret River Wine

In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.

For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
