Cape Mentelle Heritage Chardonnay 2024

The team’s prestige Chardonnay, this is always one of the gems from Margaret River. Two vineyards provide the fruit and there is a natural fermentation in French oak, around a third new, followed by ten months maturation. Pale lemon in colour, this is fresh and youthful, bright and focused, and tightly poised. The nose exhibits notes of grapefruit, stone fruits, florals, white peaches, jasmine, ginger and lemongrass. The oak integration is immaculate. There is attractive citrussy acidity and a really good intensity which runs the full length of the wine. Enjoy this over the next six to ten years. A superb Margaret River Chardonnay.
