Description

A selection of the most unique and striking vineyard plots, recognised for its innovative winemaking, al dente ripeness and distinguishing ‘Heytesbury’ character. Hedonistic high notes of stone flint, firecracker and galangal encompass notes of apple cake, peach, granola, and flamed lime peel. Deeply complex with subtle hints of grapefruit, vanilla, coriander seed and bergamot. More savoury elements will unveil with time in the bottle.A super long, seamless palate, running pure, intense and fragrant. The incredible satin texture displays a waxy warm core of fruit. The flavours draw long with pine/galangal, pear, apple and lime curd. A classically fresh finish with beautiful, fine-boned dryness. - Vasse Felix

Lovely intense grapefruit, grilled nut, marzipan, vanilla aromas and flavours. Taught yet sinuous in structure with ample grapefruits and limes, underlying tonic water, grilled nut flavours, fine lacy textures, superb mid-palate volume and fresh high pitched indelible acidity. A thoroughbred of remarkable richness and torque. A beautifully focused and classic Margaret River Chardonnay showing off the fidelity of the Gin Gin Clone and precision vineyard sourcing. 98 Points - Andrew Caillard MW
