Tasting Note
The Queen of Margaret River, our Gin Gin Clone chardonnay reveals savoury aromas of almond, orange blossom, marzipan and lemon meringue pie. The palate is moreish with white peach, dried pear and citrus encased with well balanced and thoughtful use of French Oak. Our maritime influence is reflected with hints of oyster shell lingering. Full alluring, long lasting and delicious.

Scores
96 / 100"Continues the recent form for this wine, which is fast becoming one of the best in Margaret River. Intense, concentrated and precisely balanced. The nose has a bright minerally purity with a crunchy honeycomb and butterscotch nuance to the bright lemony grapefruit and subtle quince paste characters. A most impressive chardonnay."
