This stunning 2021 Margaret River Chardonnay Art Series shows beautiful racy lines with a slick and seamless style as it bursts with toasted cashews, melon, lemon peel and pith aromas lifted by mandarin rind. Fabulous fruit density with immense power yet retaining refinement and shape over a long, strong finish. Energetic, vibrant, perfectly formed and built for the long haul.

The 2021 Art Series Chardonnay hails from an interesting season. Frankly, even after having tasted many hundreds of wines from 2021, both on release and since, the year is still playing out its full hand in bottle. Here, the wine shows tremendous fruit weight initially, veritably coating the palate, and it's so polished in its approach. The finish shows space and levity, incongruous with the front palate. It's a fascinating wine, one I am enjoying very much.

Extremely complex and classy on the nose with aromas of lemon peel, flint, nectarines, sea salt and minerals. The palate is tightly wound with high-tension acidity, generous mouthfeel and an underlying power, showing notes of lime curd, mandarin pith, orange blossoms, baking spices and gunsmoke. Very complete and made for the ages. Excellent. Drink or hold. Crown cap.
