2021 Black Label Margaret River Chardonnay
$49.99
This Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented in French Oak barriques using native yeasts. A lifted bouquet of white peach and orange blossom lead into subtle flinty notes with a touch of sea spray to complete the complex nose. There is an abundance of white stone fruit emitting from a texturally soft yet juicy mid palate finishing with a hint of cream. Time on carefully selected french oak give this beautiful Margaret River Chardonnay balance and poise.

Awards & Reviews
Trophy
Fragrant, blossomy, youthful, energetic wine with notes of dried pineapple and nectarine. Pristine fruit with a core of pristine acidity
International Wine Challenge Margaret River Chardonnay Trophy 2022. 95 Points
A vibrant, saline and fresh chardonnay with aromas of mango stones, jasmine, lemons, biscuits and sea shells. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and refreshing saline minerality to the biscuity layers. Textured finish. Drink now or hold. James Suckling 92 points
