(2023) A lovely example of the new style Australian Chardonnay, for which Margaret River is one of the hot spots. Only 12.5% alcohol, the oak is so delicately handled (French oak barriques, only 13% new), so the wine does have a little toastiness and creaminess, but vivid touches of flint and pea pod as well as fat lemon and sweet nectarine fruit. In the mouth the fruit has plenty of sweetness and ripeness, but the acid line and that flinty hint of reduction gives a fine, nicely sparky finish.Another very recommendable wine at the mixed six/Scottish price of £12.99 in Majestic.
