White

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Captures the house style for the Filius range. From a warm year, early picking retained vibrancy and energy. Crunchy honeydew melon character with overriding savouriness and fine acidity for a precise, linear feel. A faint nuttiness on the finish adds subtle complexity. Ideal for short-term drinking.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

You really are getting some high-class chardonnay at this price. It's a terrific wine, one of the best yet under the label. Slightly nutty, savoury notes on the nose, with a little nectarine stone fruit. The palate has a deep intensity as a result of the vintage, but there's also a delicate restraint that allows the wine to focus into...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Precise yet intensely flavoursome blended white that captures the style and the vintage perfectly. It’s less of a fruit bomb has more a wine of the savoury minerality that keeps it fresh, lively and interesting. This is the style that can bring people back to this blend. You could drink a bit of this and never get bored.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A refreshing, pure expression of this blend, showing more mineral and savoury character than the usual fruit-driven styles. Made with a hands-off approach to let the fruit shine. Subtle gooseberry and lemon pith with a fine, lingering minerality. Excellent texture and balance.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A wine of acute precision and freshness from a relatively cool season that turned out damn fine for chardonnay. It all comes from the Gingin clone with the fruit wild yeast fermented after whole bunch pressing. Spent about nine months in oak with some lees stirring. Has a crunchy lemon saline character with a savoury element adding further complexity. Intense...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Shines as brightly as any of the stars in Margaret River’s galaxy of great chardonnay. A supremely balanced and precise chardonnay with a succulent natural acidity despite having been through 100% malo. It’s one of the most sophisticated and complex of any Heytesbury to date. Deep mix of cashew and mealy grapefruit with a slightly savoury finish competing the palate....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Yes, there is that distinctive acid line that defines Heytesbury, but this year more generous and opulent fruit fills the palate. From the Gingin clone, with 52% new French oak and wild yeast fermentation. Aromas strike with urgency: powerful notes of savoury honeycomb, stone fruit, and floral fragrance. The palate is textured with a lovely lightness of touch that carries...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

An extraordinary wine of tension, energy and power. It’s the result of the earliest vintage on record at Vasse Felix, with the fruit being picked on 17 January. It's a wine of power and generosity, yet the subtle secondary characters in here really do strike a complex note. It's made predominantly from the Gingin clone and shows generosity, but typically...

Sauvignon Blanc

There’s a bit of winemaking here which lifts this from your standard model savvy into something a lot more engaging. Fermented in French oak foudres and puncheons with some getting fruit skin contact. It’s created a thoroughly beautiful mouthfeel and textural richness. The oak infusion is so gentle, finessing the flavours through to a sustained balanced finish. Love this style.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

A different, more complex take on sauvignon blanc. Wild yeast fermented in large French oak foudres and puncheons with full skins contact. Texturally pleasing and complex, with pale golden colour, nutty fruit, and a brioche-like character, yet still retaining crispness. Far beyond the typical variety expression.s

Margaret River

Chardonnay

I loved this wine when it was introduced a few years ago, and I'm warming to it once again. It's from a single site with the heritage clone chardonnay, so it is quite specific. The aroma is absolutely captivating, a maze of complexity, with savoury meringue, brioche and lightly lemony notes all swirling through an engaging aromatic intensity. The palate...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This has been sourced from a single plot of Gingin chardonnay, and unlike both the Premier and the Heytesbury, gets no new oak. You get a sense of place almost from the first sniff. It’s a bit wild, but complex and intricate. A pure expression of the Gingin clone from a small Wallcliffe vineyard, benefiting from cool climate influence. Powerful...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This ever improving chardonnay comes from mature unirrigated vines. IT is a mix of Gingin and Dijon clones which combines power and elegance in once united presentation. It's whole bunch pressed to oak for 100% wild fermentation before 10 months in oak of which 38% was new. Has a creamy stone fruit middle palate with a trace of cashew and...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The chardonnays of Victory Point continue to evolve and are now consistently among the best in Margaret River. This was from a season that was very hot early, about the time chardonnay was vintaged, but it has retained a precise acidity while also revealing a generous textured quality. Lifted lemon curd and vanilla bean notes on the nose with traces...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

These chardonnays from Victory Point over recent years have started to reach into the top echelon in Margaret River, and this is another cracking example. The aromas are intense, and the palate deeply concentrated, yet delivered with a fine, linear style. On the nose, distinctly lemon meringue, grapefruit, a trace of cashew, and some slightly dusty, chalky notes. The palate...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The colour is brilliant gold. The nose has an extraordinary layered complexity, with traces of honeycomb, crème brûlée and a subtle struck match character. The palate is deeply intense with both power and finesse, and those complex characters initially evident on the nose start to emerge through this very long palate profile. The finish is dry and savoury, with precise...

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

A first-rate example of chenin blanc, a variety the Swan Valley does so well. The fruit comes from Rockets Vineyard, planted by Tony Mann many years ago. Cliff has used a combination of whole bunch pressing with a very high solids component, adding deep, rich complexity, with natural fermentation further contributing to that layered feel. It has had some time...

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

No suite of Swan Valley wines would be complete without chenin blanc, and Garth Cliff knows a thing or two about making decent chenin. In this case, it's been whole-bunch pressed and went through natural fermentation, high solids and just in old barriques. From the start it is an incredibly complex palate-friendly wine that provides yet another spin on this...

Swan Valley

Fiano

Fiano is a variety that has found a home in most areas of the state. This one is interesting. It has had a little time with skin contact and was naturally fermented, which has given it that deeper, richer intensity that is so appealing. The wild ferment certainly brought additional palate and aromatic complexity. It is sort of nutty and...

Swan Valley

Fiano

Shows what you can do with this variety with a little flair. In this case, Garth Cliff has put the wine through some short skin contact and high solids, all of which adds texture and complexity to a variety that already exhibits some nice characters. But in this case, it's produced a wine of richness yet, at the same time,...

Swan Valley

White Varietal

This was naturally fermented and, again, like the fiano, has some short skin contact with high solids. Then spent a little time in both oak and steel. Vermentino can be pretty simple, but this one is anything but simple. Yes, it retains that clean, linear, crisp fineness that is varietal, but then there's other nuances of nutty sea spray. Aptly,...

Geographe

White Varietal

This is sourced from the Geographe region and is a slightly fuller, richer and more complex version of this famous Italian variety. On the nose, punchy, spicy apple crumble fruit characters emerge, while on the palate, there is richness and intensity, albeit held with typical vermentino precision. There is a dry savouriness on the palate, with just a little creamy,...

Margaret River

White Blend

A terrific value SSB blend showing racy, zesty fruit characters. Light-bodied with good flavour intensity and a clean, crisp finish. Nails the style and offers excellent value.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

It’s a nice, fruit-driven, clean, crisp, light-bodied chardonnay that receives just the faintest touch of oak, so it retains the vibrant, pristine purity of the variety. Melony, lemon meringue characters and a racy, long finish. Ideal current-drinking chardy.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Here’s a neat little SSB blend delivering vibrant, zippy fruit characters throughout. Tropical fruit and citrus combination on the nose. Then a palate showing some nice fruit sweetness and tropical character, but with a clean, defining acidity. Nice current-drinking wine.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is quite a different expression of Margaret River chardonnay, primarily due to the use of clone 95. It has a distinctive biscuit and water-cracker character on the nose, especially. The palate is dry and savoury, with a high degree of tension giving focus and precision through to the finish. Nice chalky characters. This has had about 40% malolactic fermentation,...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is the first release of this wine. It’s from the Gingin clone off some heavier soil, and it produces generous, rich and ripe fruit. It has a nice creamy savouriness, with a combination of ripeness and crisper acidity. The palate displays a savoury, textural character with that distinctive saline character. Had nine months in oak, which underpins the fruit...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is an immediately different expression of chardonnay with its distinctive clonal influences. There is a mealy savoury character with an interesting water cracker wet pebble character in here. There is a subtle fragility about this one with a nice savoury character on the finish with its lip-smacking acidity. This is all clone 95 which contributes to the delicate style...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A pure and almost pristine chardonnay from one of the region's best. Minerally with a citrus and sliced pear nuance on the nose. It's crunchy with spicy green apple and cinnamon characters on the palate. The integration of oak and fruit hits it right on the money. Very long finish.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is quite a delicate and finessed chardonnay from this marvellous vintage. Has a lifted floral component on the nose with traces of nectarine and light lemon citrus. This is 60% Gingin and the remainder other clones. Starting to use more puncheons and less new oak with less malolactic fermentation, contributing to a fine acid and delicacy. But there is...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

It was a challenging year, yet this wine has emerged rather beautifully. There was no MJW made this year, so some pretty high-quality fruit that would have gone there has come into this excellent wine. It is 90% Gingin with a little of the clone 76. The new oak contribution has also been reduced, and it only spends a few...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Immediately strikes with an intense purity and strong savoury, saline-like character. Had about 13 months on lees in a mix of oak, of which 25% was new. It’s a powerful statement with a distinct vineyard character. Balanced with tremendous fruit power, though slightly restrained and controlled through to a long finish. This is all from the Gingin clone, and it...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

This is just so delicious as a current drinking white wine. Bursting with vibrant fresh tropical notes on the nose. A little passionfruit and citrus to add tang provide an engaging opening. The palate is crunchy and alive with so much fruit intensity. A little creamy textural feel completes an excellent wine.

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

This is the first completely dry chenin blanc, the result of a program to move it in that direction. This has excellent white nectarine and peach flavours with muted tropical notes. Gets about 20% older oak which is evident on the palate. A small time on lees adds a textural dimension. It’s a little more serious with a slight unctuousness...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

This is a highly intense and powerful statement of the variety. Had 50% in old oak puncheons and the remainder in a concrete fermenter. It’s created a wine of depth and power that captures the 2025 vintage. It has a nice savoury and slightly saline influence on the lightly tropical and stone-fruit characters. It gets about nine months on lees,...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A light bodied but appealingly flavoursome chardie that is all about the vibrant natural fruit flavours. It's a pure and punchy little wine with melon and light stone fruit merging with a faint cereal-like character. A splash of lemon and pear and there you have it; super current drinking.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Comes from a mix of newer vines and some older vines. Only gets about 10% new oak and that’s it without additional oak influences. Fermented in special wedge-shaped concrete fermenters with the irregular internal surfaces making a contribution to the wine, especially with how the lees influence the wine. It’s delicate and beautifully textured with pristine and pure fruit expression.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This was made from a warm year, yet it was picked early and then selected to get the best fruit. It is made from Gingin clones from the old blocks planted many years ago, and for an entry-level chardonnay, it is pretty damn smart. It is fermented in concrete naturally and then into tank, with about 10% in new puncheons,...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A wine that reaches into the best parcels of fruit in the best years. It was a good year for white wines in Margaret River and this superbly crafted modern-style chardonnay captures it. Fine and delicate with chalky minerally edges to the fine mix of pear and cut lime that sit across the melon and lightly roasted cashew. A little...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is the first time it was straight Gingin clone and was made before Tim Shand arrive as senior winemaker. Has a fine crystalline minerality that shines through on the nose and then into the palate. Fine savoury notes with a little white nectarine supported with neatly woven oak. Lightly flinty edges on the palate. There is restraint and reserve...
