Great Southern

Chardonnay

A highly fragrant and bright chardonnay from Denmark. Notes of lemon curd, butterscotch and ripe nectarine and white peach. The palate releases flavours of cashew and stone fruit richness. The oak and fruit balance works so well, and it has a crunchy minerally finish with a little chalky edge.

Great Southern

Chardonnay

This is quite a generous chardonnay with loads of stone fruit dominated by a peach and nectarine combo working quite beautifully. Flavours deep within the palate reveal a melon, slightly vanilla pod character with a citrus edge, helping to define. Creamy and highly flavoursome. A subtle sprinkle of spice on the finish provides the final fling.

Great Southern

Riesling

This is such an intense and concentrated riesling packed with crunchy, minerally fruit. On the nose, a combination of lemon pith and musk with hints of Jasmine. The palate is so crunchy and almost juicy with a minerally citrus tang. Very long finish with a fine acidity creating a lively refreshing palate.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This wine has that elegance of modern chardonnay, but it still retains the richness and complexity that comes with the original wine-making style, which revolves around wild fermentation and maturation with regular stirring in French oak, all designed to bring in complexity and depth within a textured framework. The aromas lift with typical nectar and stone fruit-like subtleties. A little...

Pemberton

White Varietal

When it's made in this style, gewurztraminer can be quite exquisite and beautiful. In this case, it's both. Comes from the Channybearup vineyard in Pemberton and shows such wonderful lifted fruit characters for a dessert style wine. Has that little hint of ginger marmalade, ripe apricot and a subtle lychee nuance that's typical of traminer. The palate delivers with tremendous...

Western Australia

Riesling

A remarkably pure and pristine riesling displaying an initial slaty lemon and lime mix on the nose. The palate has a tension and linear structure which proceeds with lancing accuracy to a very long and lifted finish. A pronounced minerality adds a further level of character and flare.

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a neat little blend of sauvignon blanc and chardonnay sourced from vineyards well south of Margaret River. So it is a cooler site interpretation, and it’s also had some barrel fermentation. For a wine that sells for just $25, there is a degree of winemaking input and complexity that really shows. I like the lift of the savvy...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

In many ways a style that bridges the older style with the modern linear restrained styles. I like it. Let’s get that on the record. Whole bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of 30% new and older oak where it did its thing for nine months. Aromas of lemon zest and butterscotch with a creamy tart character. On the...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is an impressive chardonnay from this newcomer to Margaret River, with the fruit coming off the famed Wilyabrup sub-region. After hand-picking, it was whole-bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of new and seasoned French oak, where it spent 9 months on lees. The result is a wine with richness and texture, lots of creamy stone fruit, roasted cashew...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

This is an excellent example of a southern Margaret River sauvignon blanc that received 100% barrel fermentation in older oak, where it stayed for 6 months. This could easily have got out of hand, and yet the oak and fruit balance is superb. On the nose, there’s a lovely floral, slightly subdued nuttiness with a little lift of citrus. The...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A pretty and at the same time powerful Margaret River chardonnay. Aromas strike immediately with a mix of savoury notes merging with lemon curd and a slightly saline, flinty mineral character. The palate is where this wine really kicks in. It’s pristine with a vibrant purity and energy that drives it through to a long finish. Such a beautiful textured...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Chardonnay has been a strong suit at Thompson Estate from the outset, when founder Peter Thompson went after this variety relentlessly. This is a wine from the warmer '24 season, but was picked earlier in the year before the heat took hold, and so the wine is quite restrained and vibrant, displaying lively melon and grapefruit nuances with just a...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Another outstanding wine from this small Margaret River producer. It has an engaging aroma from the outset, with traces of grapefruit and oatmeal, alongside quince paste and a subtle chalk-dust character. The palate is typically powerful, with rich flavours of stone fruit, butterscotch and quince paste. Fine, precise acidity holds everything together, carrying the wine effortlessly to a long, focused...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The season turned out to be very good for the earlier ripening chardonnays in Margaret River. This is one of the finer and most delicate Specialist chardonnays yet. On the nose a combination of grapefruit and pear with an underlay of meal and almond provide an excellent opening. The palate has deeper stone fruit flavours with that edge of nectarine...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This takes the standard, and almost always exceptional chardonnay, into another zone of complexity and character. The nose displays a deeper concentration of fruit and winemaking artifact with notes of roasted cashew, hazelnut and a lemon curd richness. The palate is layered with an intensity of powerful fruit that finishes with a distinct savoury chalkiness.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is the pinnacle of chardonnay produced at Thompson Estate, and this is certainly one of the finest they have produced. Strikes immediately on the nose with a complex maze of cashew, butterscotch, and slightly savoury notes, providing an engaging opening. The palate, though, is where this wine comes alive. There's a deep intensity here with concentrated fruit. It's delivered...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A beautifully composed chardonnay from this warmer year. Slightly earlier picking before the heat arrived has resulted in a wine of considerable finesse and elegance. Aromas of citrus and grapefruit lead to subtle stone-fruit notes. Earlier picking gives the palate a lovely, delicate edge, while the wine retains the deep-seated power and fruit concentration that are part of its character....

Porongurup

Chardonnay

A beautifully expressive, powerfully intense and ultimately precisely defined chardonnay from the Porongurup. Aromas of meal and grapefruit with a little pithy lemon rind nuance. The palate is beautifully framed with a creamy texture, a little oatmeal and stone fruit influence, and fine acidity to support its structure and length. Just the faintest hint of struck-match complexity, which is most...

Porongurup

Riesling

Oh yeah. You just have to love Porongurup riesling. The 2025 vintage, albeit slightly warmer, worked really well as a vintage in the cooler climes of the Porongurup. There's tremendous intensity initially on the nose, with a lemon rind and slightly pithy emerging character. A little spice and bath salts, and then a palate that is deeply intense, with good,...

Blackwood Valley

Chardonnay

The fruit for this value for money chardonnay comes from the Blackwood Valley. Punchy aromas of butterscotch and cashew with ripe stone fruits. The palate is rich and textured with a neat balance of frit and oak. It’s an ideal early drinking wine.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The purity and clarity of the fruit from this great year is evident from the start. Aroma of light white peach and melon with a slightly nutty influences emerging. The palate is light to medium bodied but textured with a subtle mix of stone fruits, a fine citrussy precision and a butterscotch richness.

Frankland River

Riesling

This is a marvellous example of a Frankland River riesling that is just starting its journey into the next phase. It was made in a clay cement ovoid tank with the continual lees movement contributing to its generous and deep, textured palate. Has a nice lemon fragrance and palate character. Very attractive wine.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

If you’re looking for a little more weight and intensity in your chardonnays, then this baby might be right up your alley. Made using the clay cement ovoid tank, which forces lees through a vortex, bringing a degree of opulence and richness to the palate. Rich butterscotch and slightly savoury characters merge seamlessly, creating a wonderful layered complexity.

Swan Valley

Chardonnay

Chardonnay in the Swan Valley can often be underestimated, and yet when you see a wine like this, you've got to question why. This is terrific wine from the Baskerville Vineyard of Upper Reach. The aromas show the influence of barrel fermentation. It's quite spicy, with some nice roasted cashew, stone fruit characters and a subtle creaminess. The palate is...

Swan Valley

White Blend

A really delightful blend of chardonnay and semillon. Sure, it's a little unusual as a combination, but it works really well in the Swan Valley. Semillon gives it that fine cutting edge with a little lemon zip, while the chardonnay adds strength and palate weight. Nice citrusy aroma with some melony fruit, followed by a palate showing beautiful, juicy, ripe...

Swan Valley

Verdelho

Bursting with tropical fruit is this superb example of a Swan valley verdelho. The nose is quite beautiful with a slightly lemony stone fruit character. The palate is intense and sustained with a bright crisp acidity adding a final tick to the finish.

Swan Valley

Verdelho

Swan Valley verdelho is a really reliable go-to drink, certainly during the summer months. This one's loaded with typical tropical fruits, evident on the nose and then through to the palate. There's a slightly citrusy, spicy character that permeates, while the palate shows lovely rich fruit, controlled by fine, focused acidity through to a long finish. Delightful current drinking, but...

Margaret River

Semillon

Vasse Felix has made this wine for some years now, and it's a lovely example of the dessert style. It's created by cutting the fruiting cane and allowing the bunches to hang and dry out before picking, concentrating the flavours and sugars. It was fermented in French oak. From the outset, it captures so much about this variety. Lemon essence...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

There's much to like about this classy chardonnay, but it is that bracing minerally and slightly saline acidity that defines what is a sort of house style. It is finely balanced with a very long palate profile packed with a mix of cashew, brioche and savoury characters. Beautiful wine.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A wine that captures the juicy acidity and power of the ’22 vintage. This has developed into the Vasse Felix House style which now has a small addition of Bernard clone adding softness to the middle palate. All barrel fermented with wild yeasts and most of it naturally proceeding through malolactic fermentation. Aromas of light butterscotch and mealy roasted cashew....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

One of the best chardonnays yet under this label. But you expect that with mature vineyards, a great vintage and continually refined winemaking. Opens with a slightly savoury cashew aromatic, which is intense and immediately engaging. The palate is deep and multi-layered. Explosive and powerful, it extends with real purpose to a long though still linear and defined finish. One...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A slightly more generous style of chardonnay, showing richness and concentration while retaining fine linear precision. Minerally lemon curd with a savoury edge, intense and sustained. One of the best under this label.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

These chardonnays from Vasse Felix over the last few years are really starting to hit their straps. They seem to be allowed to release more of the flavour intensity, and the result is a wine of immense appeal. At the same time, it retains that essential linear, crunchy acidity that is a feature of the style. This one has a...

Margaret River

Rose

This has emerged as consistently one of the best roses in the State. Captures the modern dry yet textured style well. Lifted perfumes of strawberry and pomegranate. The palate is dry as chips with a neatly constructed textural feel. Crisp acid and a penetrating lingering flavour profile. Take me to the south of France.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

They don't come more classic than this. It's a semillon sauvignon blanc blend exhibiting the lovely, generous flavours of the 2025 vintage. Loads of tropical, punchy stone fruit and zesty lemon essence combine into a thoroughly appealing current-drinking blend. The palate feel is exquisite and the flavour lingers. Great example of the style.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A fresh and punchy fruit-driven style bursting with all manner of tropical fruits with a light cut-grass herbaceousness that adds to the wine and never intrudes. Lovely fresh acidity balances the fruit sweetness perfectly. Nice style for spicy Asian food.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A style that stretches back to the earliest wines made here. Bright, lively, and abundantly fruited, with a crisp, zesty thread through to the finish. Clean, pure, and delightful for current drinking.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Just the second release of this wine which is sourced from a tiny single plot in the Wallcliffe subregion. Has highly floral scents merging with a subtle chalk dustiness. The palate is distinctive and individual. The slightly saline oyster-shell character cuts a taut line through the palate extending through to a very long finish. There fine acidity is a feature...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The vintage has resulted in slightly more power and flavour richness compared to the cooler 2021. Opens with a butterscotch and ripe fig and white peach character on the nose. The palate is textured with a crème brulee and lemon curd richness balanced by a fine savoury thread through to the finish. It's so well balanced with its palate length...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The key here has been to present the quality fruit with little winemaking intervention. I mean, why would you want to muck around with it when the vibrant natural fruit intensity presents with such balance and flavour intensity. Has a crunchy racy acidity sustaining through to the long finish. Finishes with a dry savouriness.
