Wills Domain Eightfold Chardonnay 2024

A fine Margaret River Chardonnay, which comes from a pair of local vineyards, Allan Rock and Wylco, with a dollop from estate plantings, the wine underwent a natural fermentation in barrel, before nine months maturation. Malolactic fermentation is restricted to a small portion of the wine. A gleaming straw hue, the nose shows that this is a wine of good intensity with notes of stone fruits, hazelnuts, peaches, melon, a flick of well-integrated oak and a whiff of grapefruit. That serious intensity is even more evident when we move to the palate. The texture is supple, the wine well balanced and there is a lingering finish. Enjoy it now and for the next five years.
