Bright pale straw with youthful green-gold hues. Clear and vibrant in the glass, showing freshness and excellent clarity.

Bright and fruit-driven, with white stone fruit and melon supported by sweet spice, roasted cashew and subtle nougat characters from carefully handled oak.

Fresh and beautifully balanced, with white peach, nectarine and citrus flowing through the palate. Grapefruit-like acidity provides energy and definition, while restrained oak adds complexity without overpowering the fruit.

A fresh, modern Margaret River Chardonnay combining generous stone fruit with vibrant acidity, subtle oak and excellent texture. Refined and approachable, yet with enough depth and complexity to keep things interesting.

Excellent with seared scallops, grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, seafood risotto or soft-rind cheeses.

⭐ BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced Margaret River Chardonnay with fresh stone fruit, lively citrus acidity and just the right amount of oak complexity. Generous, polished and extremely drinkable, with a lovely textural finish and plenty of regional character.
