.Visually dark, opaque black-purple hue, hinting at the concentration.
On the nose, a bouquet of blackberry and plums.
The palate transitions seamlessly, revealing a well-structured profile where integrated tannins provide a firm yet smooth framework. This structure supports a core of persistent fruit that carries through to a notably long and satisfying finish.
A good example of the generally improving wines coming through behind the top liners.

Excellent 2015 Margaret River medium aged Chardonnay more in Burgundy style with minerality showing thru and melon and stone fruits on palate. Produced purposefully to be less oaky and buttery and the class shows through. — 7 months ago

A pale lemon yellow in colour - quite youthful looking for a 12 year old Chardonnay. Aromatics of white peach - mealy and nutty notes, still with a nice acid cut at the finish. Drinking at its peak. Fuller than some Marg River Chardonnays I’ve had lately like Xanadu and Fraser Gallop. I have had richer Art Series Chardonnays but personally I love the balance in this. — 2 months ago

Also no malolactic. Crisp and minerally, but still sweeter than the Xanadu. — a year ago

Somewhat lush and fat up front, plenty of acidity to balance, more depth and complexity than the Xanadu, medium-long finish. — 7 months ago

No formal notes. This is the regular Estate Chardonnay behind the prestige cuvée Heytesbury. Citrus lime notes with an overlay of vanillin French oak, probably too much but it works. On the delicate side - an excellent Chardonnay for the money. Had a 2nd bottle 100 weeks later on 22/4/25. Very citric with pink grapefruit bitterness. Initial aromas of almonds and a little cashew. I’ve had a spate of Citric lean Chardonnays from Margaret River lately like this and Xanadu Stevens Road. April 2025. 91 points. — 2 years ago
