ABOUT MARGARET RIVER CHARDONNAY

Margaret River Chardonnay styles are perhaps some of the best in Australia.   Situated at the eastern end of the Burton block on white clay Murgite soils, our 1,900 low yielding Gin Gin variety vines produce around 4 tonnes of fruit each year.  Usually picked at around 13.5 Baume, our fruit expresses nice stone fruit flavours with citrus over-tones – great for producing flavoursome wines.  Married with carefully selected French oak, our style has nice length and balance that should cellar nicely.  Around 3 to 5 years is a great time for you to drink and enjoy.

2022 The Urban Professor Chardonnay

This small batch Margaret River Chardonnay displays a lifted bouquet of nectarine, nougat and orange blossom along with flinty complexities abound on the nose. The palate has freshness and complexity with a saline acidity complementing complex notes of brioche dough and roasted cashews.  Barrel fermentation and time on lees has provided depth and texture to this bright, fresh, flavourful wine.

This small batch Margaret River Chardonnay displays a lifted bouquet of preserved lemons, white peach and brioche dough. Wild fermentation, fine French oak maturation and extended time on lees provide complexity and mid palate richness, while retaining precision and impressive length. Produced in extremely small quantities, this wine is a reflection of both site and season.

Truly a cracker wine from a tough vintage.  Hardly any yield but fabulous grapes, all hand-picked and carefully crafted in French oak.  Will delight, but there is really limited supply.
