Jolif. Old French: joyful and beautiful.
The inaugural release of Luke Jolliffe's own label. After eighteen years and more than thirty trophies at Stella Bella, including the 2020 Luminosa named Halliday's Chardonnay of the Year on 98 points and the 2022 Luminosa named Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards, Luke has narrowed everything to one wine: a single Chardonnay from the Kudardup vineyard near Augusta, at the cool southern tip of Margaret River.
100% Gingin clone, hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented and matured around eighteen months in French oak hogsheads. Where his Stella Bella whites chased flint and tension, this is Gingin Chardonnay reconsidered: purity, texture and savoury complexity.

“A spicy and nutty wine here. I’m thinking ginger snaps, salted pistachio, almond nougat, aniseed, pink grapefruit and key lime pie. It’s lively with a juicy lime and white nectarine flavour, spicy oak, quite savoury – a parmesan rind umami thing here – a flinty grip to it, nori, salt and vinegar crisps, and a pear drizzled finish of excellent length. Anyway, a cool wine both by nature and climat. A whole lot of zest and energy. Kind of unusual in a way, yet compelling for its point of difference.”

“If standing with closed eyes in a Burgundian cellar whilst evaluating the palate, the conclusion would be either a high-quality, complex, textural and long Premier Cru of superior character — or perhaps even a Grand Cru. This is a serious wine.”
