2022 Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay, Margaret River

This has drinkability stamped all over it, thanks to the right combo of fruit, texture and lively acidity. Some lemon-lime juice and zest, tangy and bright, with a layer of nutty, creamy lees. It’s delicious – not complex but very good.

This wine continues its trajectory of overdelivering, the vintage is a slightly leaner style than last year but with the same quality winemaking regime. 100% barrel ferment builds weight and structure as does the lees stirring and quality seasoned oak. Restrained stone fruits, white florals and a cashew cream are wrapped in lemony acidity and finishing with a chewy saline pith

Pristine Chardonnay fruit and respectful winemaking. Fermentation and maturation in mainly seasoned French oak, which adds complexity and generosity of texture without compromising the purity of aromatics or flavor. A verve expression of our cool climate Chardonnay from the pristine south of Margaret River. Chardonnay is harvested at moderate ripeness to retain freshness and natural balance. 

The embodiment of spring, perfume, texture, delicacy and personality.
