Clairault Streicker Reserve Chardonnay 2023

Fruit is from the Bridge Lane Vineyard in Karridale (Clone 5) and the Ironstone Vineyard in Wilyabrup (Gingin Clone). Candied pineapple, Meyer lemons and a hint of papaya skin. There is a cascade of citrus that flows in torrents, striking acidity that creates a succulent palate.  This is full of beachside mineral tones too. Salt flakes, oyster shell and kelp. A wine that truly transports you to place, with a thoughtful marriage of ripe fruit, line and salinity. A joy to drink and would be heavenly with fresh oysters, followed by a potato scallop. Drinking well now but has the shape to age another decade in your cellar.
