Sourced from two sites—71% Ironstone Vineyard in Wilyabrup and 29% Bridgelane Vineyard in Karridale—this estate Chardonnay offers remarkable value, as do all the wines from Clairault Streicker. Here, hot sands cradle flavours of candied lemon, baked peach, and crumbling cheesecake crust. Vanilla and clove weave through juicy tropical fruit, with a whisper of limestone salt. It’s nutty and dry, enveloping you in Chardonnay’s warm embrace—orchard fruit, bright citrus, and the smooth richness of melting butter. Let it wash over you while your croque monsieur bubbles away in the oven.
