Layered aromas of struck match are well supported by robust flavours of preserved lemon and peach. The palate is packed with flavour, with a bite of acidity that gives admirable tension to its weight.

Hand-picked fruit is whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in fine-grained French oak (mostly puncheons), with extended lees contact to build texture while preserving mineral drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargaret River’s 2024 vintage was near-perfect: cool nights, mild days, and a long ripening window that produced Chardonnay of superb aromatic intensity and precision.
