96 Points, Ned Godwin, jamessuckling.com
All old, Gingin clone chardonnay. Nougat, praline, creamed cashew, curd, white peach, pear sorbet and salubrious oak, impeccably integrated. Smoky, reductive and pungent without any constraint on the fruit. Mid-weighted, pristine and punchy, with an edge of chew for complexity. Yet a non-malolactic approach to crafting chardonnay may retain acidity, but it struggles to parlay the complexity in youth that will come with time. Be patient. A lovely, mid-weighted wine of scintillating length. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Critic Reviews

98 Points - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

“Spicy grapefruit aromas with a little lemon curd. The palate is super intense and linear with a bright chalky acidity pushing it through to a very long finish.”

97 Points - Jane Faulkner, Wine Pilot

“The power and beauty of Margaret River fruit are on full display with all the refinement and detail that comes with it. The palate pulses with energy, there's texture via lees, and judicious handling of oak and fruit, of course. The tensile yet fine acidity weaves everything together towards a super-long finish.”

97 Points - Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast

“A margarita-style Chardonnay if ever there was one, this feels like you're standing at the edge of the Indian Ocean (less than four miles from where these grapes are grown) on a brisk day, the salty sea air whipping, the sand between your toes, a lemon twist martini in hand. As delicious as it is evocative, it pings in the mouth with a lightly creamy texture and mouthwatering, laser-like, lemon zest acidity that lingers long on the finish, making it impossible to put down.”

96 Points - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

“Wonderfully complex and mineral-driven aromas of lime curd, lemon confit, sea spray and nougat. The palate is tightly bound with energetic acidity and powerful underlying notes of gunsmoke, grapefruit pith, orange blossoms and jasmine. Polished with incredibly high tension. Pure class. Drink or hold.”
