From the outrageously good 2023 Margaret River vintage

"It's ultra-refreshing, has some depth, and will garner more complexity in time. But why wait? Good to pour now." Jane Faulkner

Tasting Notes

Vinework presents the opportunity to experience a seasonal voyage from the vineyard to the glass – from growth to creation. Crafted in celebration of the hours spent walking amongst the vines, watching, tending, tasting - connecting with our growers and the region's land. This range welcomes you to walk alongside us on this unique passage through the vineyards, exploring the individual blocks and batches brought together to create this story—a colourful, textural tale of the season and the soils.

All the fruit for this Vinework Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed and was all barrel fermented in select French oak barriques (12% new oak). Wild fermentation was encouraged on all of the components, in order to introduce more complexity and personality into the wine. All of the individual batches which make up the blend were lees stirred throughout a nine-month oak maturation period, without any malolactic fermentation.

 

Critic Scores

Elegant, complex, and inviting, the bouquet shows white-fleshed peach, lemon zest, fresh fig, nougat, and oatmeal nuances. It's succulent and creamy in the mouth, delivering a fine texture backed by bright acidity, leading to a persistent, well-structured finish.

A pretty tidy and tasty wine showing exuberance of youth – with racy acidity and upfront citrus flavours. There’s a slip of texture, galangal and woodsy spices. It's ultra-refreshing, has some depth, and will garner more complexity in time. But why wait? Good to pour now.

This is a distinctly fruit-driven Chardonnay from this excellent season. But there is a contribution from a mix of new and seasoned oak. Aromas of pear and grapefruit are typically Margaret River. The palate delivers plenty of fruit power augmented with a little oak and defined by a fine lingering acidity. Drink now or keep it for a few years.
