Tasting Notes

Aroma

Bright and fruit driven, this Chardonnay shows classic aromas of white stone fruit and melon, with complexing notes of sweet spices, roasted cashew and nougat from the careful use of oak.

Appearance

Bright, pale straw.

Palate

The palate is delicate and bright, with minerality and a grapefruit-like acidity. A supple and delicate talcy texture accompanies stone fruit flavours that flow through the palate. Overall, a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with generosity and depth of flavour.

Vinification

Our Chardonnay fruit comes from a few different vineyards, including Kyella (Wilyabrup) and Carbunup River sites. The fruit is pressed in the cool of early morning to preserve vibrancy and fruit flavour. Fermentation occurred naturally with wild indigenous yeasts and no fining agents were used during production. All barrels had SO₂ added at varying stages post fermentation and no malolactic fermentation was allowed. Lees were stirred monthly and the wine was matured for nine months in oak. All barrels were French, with a mix of barriques (225L) and larger puncheons (500L), approximately 20% of which were new.

Cellaring Potential

3-5 years.

Vintage Notes

After a warm and dry 2024 vintage, winter rainfall arrived in August, replenishing groundwater and restoring vine health. Careful vineyard management supported healthy canopies through spring. Flowering was successful with average yields, although some uneven Chardonnay shoot growth required attention to ensure even ripeness. Cool nights helped maintain natural acidity, producing vibrant white wines. Dry conditions continued through the 2025 growing season, with minimal disease pressure. A light rain event in mid-March refreshed soils and supported red varieties, though warm conditions led to elevated sugars in some blocks. Bird pressure was high due to limited Marri blossom, requiring increased netting throughout the vintage.
