The Margaret River region is known around the world for its top-quality wines and food. While the region produces less than three per cent of Australia's wine, it accounts for more than a fifth of its premium wine. Coastal influences in the Margaret River area yield chardonnay with tropical fruit notes.
The nose displays deep aromatic fruit concentration of melon and nectarine, with a touch of citrus, toasted almond and nougat. The palate is delightfully complex yet soft with excellent fruit intensity, gingerbread and spice from the French oak. Ripe white nectarine and melon characters are paired with a fresh grapefruit acidity. All these flavor components will further develop, with some cellaring, to create a palate that is textural, ripe and lingering.

"Pale straw color. Aromas and flavors of apple butter, grapefruit, white flowers, and hints of basil with a velvety, vibrant, dryish light-to-medium body and a smooth, medium-length finish displaying notes of hints of apricot, pineapple preserves, and wet stone with no oak flavor. An elegant, smooth-sipping unoaked Chardonnay with gentle fruit and lovely acidity.”
