Heightened floral notes of jasmine, frangipani, chamomile and cardomom meet with the classical pear, lime and lemon fruit spectrum. The nose has energy with delicate complexity. Layers beneath the forefront include subtle oyster shell, brioche, nougat and almond shell. The palate is finely woven and lively. The clarity of fruit is highlighted with lime curd, pear and pink grapefruit. Throughout, the palate has great shape and texture; layers of cassia, clove and cashew create dimension within the primary fruit core. The structure is held quite tight with a fine acid line and mineral thread.


Wild ferment, high solids, 10 months in 35-40% new oak. The cooler ‘19 vintage produced saline acid which is fine and tight. Almond meal and cashew initially; the mid palate and beyond shows attractive exotic spice complexity and great length of flavour. Green pistachio, yellow peach and brine. Regular lees stirring has built texture, but it is the intensity of fruit that makes this great: the Leeuwin chardonnay DNA is evident from the first mouthful.

This release is a hit. It’s quite fine, almost cool, with citrussy, brine-like acidity running through and a distinct freshness to its feel. The word mouthwatering is apt. Nectarine, almond milk and a run of grilled peach, though that light/nutty/almond-like creaminess is a key feature. Needless to say, it drinks a treat. It’s not big or overly powerful but there’s more than enough here to satisfying and its length is good too.
