Reflects GinGin clone generosity and we wouldn’t want it any other way. It is such a distinctive and hugely attractive Margaret River Chardonnay feature: inviting, summery and luscious. Summer stone fruits, citrus, green apple and Nashi pear scents come with lemon oil, pith and zest. It’s a glass of bright Chardonnay, warm and textured, filling the mouth with flavour including some preserved lemon savouriness and bite, which adds that extra layer and touch of savouriness. Finishes with a brisk, austere freshness that is pithy dry. Good value here.
