Wine Critic Reviews
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 is detailed, focused and fresh, with powerful acidity and phenolics that work hand in hand to drag out the wine over the long finish. The acidity and phenolics wrap around a core of pure, clear fruit. The 2021 vintage in Margaret River was challenging in that, while the season was average to warm in terms of temperature, the rainfall throughout the growing (and harvest) time was consistently intermittent. This meant that viticulturists across the region were kept on their toes with ongoing canopy and disease management. The resulting Chardonnays, in particular, from the region were very good quality, reflecting the exhausting and exhaustive season that birthed them. This wine is testament to that effort.
