2022 Chardonnay, Margaret River, Western Australia. Aromatic and varietal. Notes of jasmine and frangipane add delicate nuances to the fruity profile. Cashews, almond flour, popcorn, and chamomile create a suggestive olfactory center. The palate is vibrant and ethereal, with excellent direction in terms of structure and presentation. The energy and liveliness of citrus unite with salty acidity. Subtle hints of hazelnut and sweet spices add a layer and a complementary outline to the palate. Decanter awarded 93 points: "The sweet aromas of vanilla, toasted bread, tangerine, cashews, and pastry cream suggest a wide range of flavors, but the nectarine and the vibrant acidity of lime provide tension and liveliness, enhancing the citrus and the fruity aroma of pear. The slightly creamy lees provide consistency and the hazelnut oak toast (40% new) adds savory nuances, very appreciable already now with the structure suitable for medium-term aging." - Sarah Ahmed. Wine Enthusiast awarded 92 points: "Pale gold in color, this wine from one of the best estates in Margaret River shows briny and matchstick characteristics intertwining between fresh citrus and melon rind, evolving towards fruity notes of cooked stone fruit as it warms in the glass. The palate further develops, maintaining a lively acidity and a freshness of lemon and brine until the end." - Cristina Pickard. Wine Spectator awarded 90 points: "Reveals on the palate citrus, pear, and pineapple at the center, with elegant accents of spices, toasted hazelnut, and dried flowers in the finish, where the flavors intensify with a touch of grated ginger." - MaryAnn Worobiec.
