Floris is a modern and engaging expression of Margaret River local clone into wine. This style is a coevolution of Modern Australian food and wine culture, which has great emphasis on balance, freshness and hedonistic pleasure. The sustainably farmed vineyard is in the cool southern end of Margaret River.
Fermented and matured in French oak (30% new) with restricted mlf and fortnightly bâtonnage. Spicy yellow peach, flakes of sea salt and sprinklings of crushed cashew and star anise make for a complex, rich (yet somehow delicate) and precise chardonnay. Glassy texture and very fine phenolic structure places this in top-shelf company. Unbelievable value for money.
