2015 Credaro 1000 Crowns Chardonnay, Margaret River

Fascinating: this and the '15 Kinship Chardonnay have identical estate origins, part from Credaro's most southern vineyard near Witchcliffe, part from its Metricup Vineyard, both hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, wild-fermented, no additions other than SO2, both fermented and matured in French oak (30% new). This wine has absolutely stunning purity and length, and a gold-plated future. Gold medals Margaret River Wine Show '16 and Sydney International Wine Competition '16.
