Critic reviews
James Halliday – A blush of gold; stone fruit, some lemon and grapefruit, a wet stone character a bit zinc-like. There’s flesh throughout, and it feels weightier and riper than its 12.5% alcohol. Then again, that’s the Gingin clone and this site. There’s also ginger spice and tangy acidity, so this is juicy and succulent. In a way, it’s pure, unadulterated chardonnay (wild fermented and only aged in used French oak barriques for eight months with another six months in tank), and while it will attain more complexity in time, it’s a wine for today. – Jane Faulkner

Just the second release of this wine which is sourced from a tiny single plot in the Wallcliffe subregion. Has highly floral scents merging with a subtle chalk dustiness. The palate is distinctive and individual. The slightly saline oyster-shell character cuts a taut line through the palate extending through to a very long finish. There fine acidity is a feature contributing to its crystalline purity. Only older oak has been used and it all went through malolactic fermentation. The spotlight is brightly trained on the fruit of this delicate yet powerfully sustained wine.

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.
