Description

Morlet Wines Reserve Chardonnay 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% estate grown Chardonnay, from Willyabrup, Margaret River.

Taste Profile: This small batch Margaret River Chardonnay displays a lifted bouquet of nectarines, grapefruit and brioche dough. Wild fermentation delivers a light flinty note, while fine French oak maturation and extended time on lees provide complexity and mid palate richness to the wine yet retaining precision and impressive length. Produced in extremely small quantities, this wine is a reflection of both site and season.

Buttery & Honeyed Whites

Full-bodied fruit and spice, often with the ability to age. This style usually relies on new oak to impart vanilla driven characteristics. Malolactic fermentation & on lees ageing also contributes to the texture
