"Light, bright yellow color with a dairy-like aroma, creamy and possibly malo influenced. The acidity is bracingly high and refreshing, the palate taut and very lively, vivacious and tangy, ultra-long and super-fine. A superb cool-climate chardonnay. Very powerful, and the length is incredible. It will age very well, too."

The 2014 Chardonnay from Porongurup continues to impress, exuding finesse with its citrus and floral laced nose plus subtle notes of baking bread, coriander seed and clotted cream. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with creamy textured lemon curd and brioche flavor layers supported by a racy acid line and finishing with great length.

A joint venture between the Burch family (Howard Park) and Pascal Marchand (ex Comte Armand and Vougeraie in Burgundy), this Chardonnay comes from a hilly region deep in southwestern Western Australia. Toasted hazelnuts and citrus aromas set the stage, while the palate neatly balances richness and acidity. Bright pineapple and citrus blend with oak on the long finish. Bottles produced 3,187- Drink 2018–2021.
