About this Wine

This wine is, unsurprisingly, just right. In fact, I think this is easily the most righteous SR Chardonnay made to date. It’s pale green, smells of white stone fruits and gun flint and sea breeze. It is more restrained perhaps, than the traditional stylings of Margaret River but I think it’s all the better for its understated awesomeness if you will. As with every Nocturne wine, the texture and flavour are to die for & impeccably framed by sherbet-like acidity and fine phenolic structure… Chardonnay is what Jesus made when he turned water into wine; it’s also why we winemakers have a God complex.

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.
