MYSTERY GEM | MARGARET RIVER, CHARDONNAY 2025

Set on the ocean-cooled coast of Western Australia’s Margaret River, this Chardonnay is shaped by one of the country’s most celebrated cool-climate regions. Warm, clear days encourage generous flavour development, while reliably cool nights and maritime breezes preserve natural acidity and freshness. The 2025 season delivered ideal conditions and low disease pressure, producing pristine, varietally expressive fruit with classic regional purity and poise.

Brilliant, fresh straw with a lighter hue, the wine opens with bright aromas of nectarine, pear, and citrus blossom. On the palate it’s seamlessly layered, unfolding stone-fruit richness and zesty lemon curd, all carried by a line of crisp mineral acidity that keeps the finish lively, clean, and persistent.

Crafted with precision, the grapes were harvested in the cool autumn mornings and transferred directly to the winery for immediate processing. Fermentation was completed with a proprietary yeast to capture and elevate natural fruit character, before the wine was matured on yeast lees and French oak for eight months, building texture and subtle complexity. Light fining and filtration followed prior to bottling, ensuring clarity while retaining vibrancy.

A natural partner at the table, it pairs beautifully with fresh fettuccine in a creamy seafood sauce, where the wine’s stone-fruit generosity and citrus-mineral lift complement the richness of the dish. Enjoy now for its youthful energy, or cellar with confidence for added depth over the coming years.
