Harewood Estate Flux III Denmark Chardonnay 2024

The fruit here is from the Denmark sub-region in Western Australia’s Great Southern district, and it takes advantage of the maritime aspect the place offers. This is a level or two above your average drink-now, commercial Chardy, with an intriguing cerebral aspect. It is an impressive wine. Pale lemon/yellow in colour, the nose gives us notes of spices, lemon curd, cashew, citrus, stone fruits, mandarins, peaches and a touch of apricot kernel. There is a creamy texture and we are seeing evidence of the early complexity, which will surely grow. The wine has balance and excellent length and should provide a great deal of pleasure over the next six to eight years. Lots to like here.
