Ray Jordan’s review
This provides a distinct point of difference from the Wildberry Springs and Southern Seas chardonnays. It’s a wine of incredible power and concentration, yet there is finesse and subtlety. In this case, only barriques were used and the wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation. The aim was to hardly touch the wine as it went through the process, and it captures everything expected from the power and richness of the Gingin clone. There’s lively energy and brightness from the citrus and lemony characters, followed by the richer opulence of the meringue and stone fruit palate. That subtle savouriness on the finish completes what is an outstanding wine.
