Margaret River

Chardonnay

Margaret River chardonnay with plenty of presence, particularly for those who enjoy a more substantial style. Fermented and matured in French barriques, it displays vibrant ripe stone fruit balanced with lime, lemon, and grapefruit notes. The palate is rich, with creamy nectarine and cashew, supported by fine linear structure and crisp acidity, with a slightly lemony citrus tang.

Chardonnay

The precise intensity of this fruit from Karridale is captured and highlighted in what is an excellent medium- to light-bodied style with tons of appeal. Aromas of nougat and lemon meringue are quite subtle, and then the palate has a pristine vibrancy, with lovely fruit characters. It was a very good vintage in this region, and this is a compelling...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This is a more generously flavoured chardonnay, with a ripe melon, vanilla pod and citrussy lemon meringue-like character. Comes from Pemberton and reveals rather beautiful fruit character initially on the nose and then on the palate. A little butterscotch and lemon curd add further complexity.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Chardonnay emerged from this very warm vintage quite well, having been picked early in the season. In this case, it is a light to medium-bodied example that was wild fermented in oak, with a little bâtonnage to bring creamy complexity. At the same time, it retains bright acidity and liveliness through the palate, with some nice roasted cashew and savoury...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Stunning wine displaying elegance and power in a perfectly structured and presented frame. Aromas of typical pear, florals and a little slaty minerality emerge immediately. The palate is slick and precise but with a deep complexity revealing a combination of citrus, grapefruit and a slightly saline pebbly character. It’s a result of the best barrel selection, and the brightness and...

Chardonnay

A precise and finely crafted delicate chardonnay from Margaret River. Spicy pear aromas with hints of nectarine and lemon rind. The palate is medium weight but with excellent flavour intensity displaying notes of lemon curd and a trace of crème brulee. A wine I would prefer in the short term.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This has a lovely aroma of floral notes with some savouriness. This is very powerful and precise at the same time. Has a touch of breadcrust character which comes from the very small amount of malolactic fermentation. There is a lot of power and intensity in the middle palate but retains a vibrant crunchy mouth feel. Has a tart nectarine...

Chardonnay

This really is a terrific chardonnay for this price. After collecting the free run juice, it was initially fermented and matured for 11 months in oak. The intensity of the melony grapefruit sits comfortably with the oak. A little lime and citrus tang provides further palate balance and lift. Racy clean long finish.

Chardonnay

There's a little happening in this classy chardonnay. On the nose the combination of toasty butterscotch and quince with a little roasted almond shows the way in. Then the palate delivers with a rich foundation of light stone fruit and a little struck match edginess. A neat chardonnay.

Chardonnay

Another extraordinary wine that is part of the Legacy Serries. It is a wine that reflects so much of the vineyard and the place. The aim is simply to express the vineyard with honesty in its most natural form. Take one sip of this and the palate stays with you for an eternity. Aromas of citrus with a dried fruit...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Sourced from some of the southernmost vineyards of Cape Mentelle and picked early to avoid the heat of 2024, this wine proves you shouldn't judge a vintage without knowing the details. It's an incredibly delicate and fine style, capturing powerful, concentrated intensity with refined delicacy. Minerally, lemony notes appear on the nose, while the palate builds slowly through the middle...

Sauvignon Blanc

A fume style that doesn’t overblow the use of oak. It’s still rather tight but with ageing it will emerge with layers of rich complexity. This was a stunning vintage so within the walls of this wine there is plenty of firepower. There’s a nice minerality here too to carry the palate through to a long finish. A classy example...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is a super wine that comes off low-yielding mature vines on the property. The aromas are a classic combination of cut lime, pear, and nectarine. The palate is still tightly wound and somewhat shy, but it will evolve, open up, and develop further complexity and layers with age. It's a vibrant, minerally style with tremendous length.

Margaret River

White Blend

A really punchy fruit-driven sem sav blanc that captures much of what this style was all about when it first appeared in the region. Loads of vibrant, very much alive tropical fruit with a decent citrus splash. It's got a lively sustaining acidity and it makes for great current drinking.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is an outstanding chardonnay and quite frankly one of the very best I've ever seen from Cape Mentelle. It comes off Block 10 on the Chapman Brook Vineyard, which is now more than 30 years old. After hand-picking, it was pressed with wild fermentation in oak and then aged for a further 10 months. The result is a wine...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Continues the generous style that has been part of the Cape Grace DNA. It's wild fermented and gets about 40% new oak which this season needed to strike the right balance. Nectarine and edgier cumquat emerge over aromas of quince paste and crème brulee on the nose. The palate is layered and textured with great depth of flavour that carries...

Western Australia

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A punchy little blend capturing the essence of this fresh early drinking style. Vibrant tropical fruit splashed with a citrus tang and dusted with dried herbs and cut hay. It all comes together in a wine for drinking no.

Western Australia

White Blend

This is a bright and crunchy little blend of gewürztraminer, riesling and pinot grigio from Pemberton, which in this warmer year delivered some very nice fruit qualities, thanks to its cooler locale. The traminer picks up the spiciness and light lychee notes of the variety, especially on the nose. But it all comes together neatly into a controlled, linear palate,...

Geographe

White Blend

A light bodied but flavoursome and finely balanced blended white from the Geographe region. Aromas of passionfruit and tropical fruits with a splash of citrus. The palate is fine with a nice lift through to a clean pure finish. Sustained by a fine acidity. Good drinking in the next couple of years.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Continues the excellent run for Ashbrook with chardonnay. Comes off some pretty mature vines and in addition to the dominant Gingin clone there are two others. Nectarine and quince paste aroma engages immediately. A little lemon rind works in. The palate displays some nice creamy brioche and vanillin characters with a trace of underlying almond meal. It's an excellent wine...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This comes from a single parcel of fruit which after hand picking was pressed to one-year-old and new French oak, naturally fermented and then left for 10 months with regular lees stirring. Has a really vibrant and almost racy edge to it with a flinty dry palate feel, that holds a deep and intense palate to a long line. A...

Great Southern

Riesling

I do like this riesling. Cherubino makes it in a clay cement egg which creates a vortex to work the lees into the palate. Retains it pristine brightness but with the extra dimension of a textural palate. The mineral light citrus edge remains a fundamental part.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is the second release of this wine, which was introduced when Moss Wood decided to move its semillon into a cellar release with five years of age. It’s Moss Wood semillon and Ribbon Vale sauvignon blanc, with a little barrel fermentation and maturation. This is an SSB with class. The nutty, lightly fruity aromas and flavours are exquisitely presented,...

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 with a pristine purity that is part of the vineyard DNA. There's a delightfully fresh pastry-like character without the butterscotch. It has a lip-smacking salinity which is from the vineyard. The short rows of the vineyard have super low yields and they are from cuttings off Leeuwin's famous Block 20, so the bunches are very small. The fruit...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This has a slightly smoky herbaceousness providing a nice balance with the creamy stone fruit characters. Those primary characters of freshly mown grass are still evident with some richer peachy stone fruit filling out the palate. Light touch of oak, and there you have it.

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

There's an immediate crunchy purity and vibrancy about this chardonnay. Certainly one of the best yet from Cape Grace. The aromas are dominated by a punchy peach, nectarine and slightly brioche combination. And then the palate, which is gently influenced by a third new French oak, reveals a complex minerality presented with elegance. A little butterscotch adds further richness, and...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

If you like your sauvignon blanc with a little more restraint and control than the traditional Kiwi styles, then this little guy sits snugly in your style range. Tropical fruits, gooseberry and citrus, all with an element of restrained control. Then a palate that delivers more of that fruit, but with a fine, minerally, crunchy acidity giving it a refreshing,...

Frankland River

Riesling

Beautiful, just beautiful. Intense aromas of lemon zest and bath salts lift immediately on the nose. The fruit is sourced from the two best blocks on the Riversdale Vineyard. The palate has a crunchy vibrancy with a lively flow that bounces off the slaty wet pebble character. Precise and pure with tremendous cellaring potential.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Traditionally the more delicate of the three top-tier chardonnays. This is a wonderful example of the vineyard and style. Fragrant and intense on the nose with floral grapefruit, cashew and light lemon curd influences. There’s a little of that limestone character as well adding to its crystalline feel. The palate is tightly wound and deeply powerful with a tight inner...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A wine that differentiates from the Purus, and there is more winemaking artefact. But at the same time, it never goes over the top. It's always with restraint, with an eye on elegance and delicacy. There's a beautiful honeycomb, butterscotch and quince-paste combination on the nose. And then the palate, which is a creamy richness, but once again presented with...

Margaret River

White Blend

This is an expression of field blending with pinot gris, viognier, gewurztraminer, riesling and sauvignon blanc coming together to produce a wine of depth and complexity with the high-end aromatics that you might expect with these varieties. So many subtle fruit characters emerge, but they are all overlaid with a distinct spiciness and a sustained acidity to an extended finish....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is a wine that, in the last few years, has lifted into another zone, and in this vintage it's showing real intensity of fruit, combined with fine, precise focus and remarkable length. It's a delicately framed chardonnay with a fine chalky character that threads through lemony grapefruit and light melon notes. The palate is fine, precise, and sustained, with...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is where Dukes starts to ratchet things up and introduce a whole new level of complexity and layers into his wine. It's loaded with a striking combination of butterscotch, stone fruit, and a hefty hit of oak, albeit one that's integrated and fits snugly within the wine. The palate is concentrated, showing a nice balance of stone fruit, minerals,...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Punchy, fruit-driven, savvy, capturing all the beautiful aromatics and flavours you expect with this variety. Aromas of light tropical fruit, a little gooseberry and passionfruit. A little trim of cut grass and fresh mown hay. On the palate, a decent splash of citrus lifts the fruit through to a zingy long finish. Delightful current drinking wine.

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

What a stunning chardonnay from Margs. Opens with a slightly charry edge to the ripe limestone stone fruit characters on the nose. The palate is delicately poised but with a deep intensity. Lemony grapefruit and quince paste emerge from the palate with a fine charry oak and fine acidity to promote a very long finish. Finishes with a crunchy seashell...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is a beautiful, fruit-driven, vibrant chardonnay displaying lovely melony citrus aromas and deep flavours on its medium-bodied palate. It retains a beautiful vibrancy and energy through the palate. An ideal wine, particularly if you’re not into oak, as this one will fit the bill perfectly. It’s great current drinking.

Margaret River

White Blend

A crunchy and vibrant blended white from Margaret River capturing the vibrancy and energy of the vintage with punchy bright fruit intensity at the core of a terrific current drinking wine. The edgy citrus tang adds further lift to a zippy palate.
