Tasting Notes
Aroma
Expressive and lifted, classic white stone fruit combines with
grapefruit pith, orange blossom, beautiful minerality, beeswax
and a subtle hint of flinty wet slate. Complex and laden with
layers of intriguing aromatics.
Maturation
9 months.
Appearance
Bright, pale straw.
Palate
Refined and mineral-driven, with generous fruit and fresh citrus
acidity. Warm days gave richness of white peach, nectarine, and
lemon curd, while cool nights preserved vibrancy. A supple talcy
texture adds balance to this classic Margaret River Chardonnay.
Vinification
Fruit sourced from Credaro Kyella (Wilyabrup), Carbunup, and
a premium Treeton grower. Whole bunch/berry pressed in the
cool mornings to retain freshness. Wild yeast ferment, no fining
no MLF. Matured nine months in French oak (barriques and
puncheons, ~25% new) with regular lees stirring.
Cellaring Potential
8-10 years.
Vintage Notes
After a warm, dry 2024 vintage, winter started late but August
rains replenished groundwater and revitalised the vines. With
careful management, they entered spring with healthy canopies.
Flowering was strong across all varieties, though Chardonnay
showed uneven shoot growth, requiring extra viticultural care
for even ripening. Cool nights and the Gingin clone helped
retain excellent acidity and deliver vibrant, flavoursome wines.
Bird pressure and the need for netting were constant challenges,
as warm conditions and limited water reduced Marri blossom,
driving silvereyes and other birds into the vineyards.
Food Matching
WA marron with herb & garlic butter, fresh garden salad and
crusty sourdough.
