This favourite Margaret River varietal has been made from the “Mendoza” clone of Chardonnay, renown for producing some of our region’s finest wines.
The clone produces berries of differing sizes “hens and chicks” that give rise to greater flavour intensity than other clones, due to the higher skin to juice ratio. The grapes in this wine are grown in one of our southern vineyards in the Karridale sub region.
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Winemaker: Flying Fish Cove, Margaret River
Winemakers Tasting's Notes: "Aromas of honeydew melon and lifted butterscotch welcome you to the wine. It is pale straw in colour with a golden green hint. The palate is soft and generous with fleshy stone fruit and a subtle oak finish providing length and balance" Damon Eastaugh
