The cool climate and uniform soils of the Margaret River/Pemberton/Frankland regions give rise to slow ripening and maximum flavour accumulation in Chardonnay berries. Vine uniformity allows us to harvest the grapes at a selected ripeness without variation to achieve the goal of a balanced flavoursome wine. Dijon clone Chardonnay typically becomes flavour ripe at lower sugar levels resulting in lower alcohol wines. The Gin Gin clone Chardonnay adds flavour intensity and structure at slightly higher sugar levels when physiologically ripe. TASTING NOTES: Alluring aromas of lemon sherbet and melon with nuances of fine French oak precede a palate of stone fruit and honey dew melon. The wine has a succulent mouth-feel full of bright, fresh flavours with a grapefruit/lemon burst that adds length and line.
