- TASTING NOTE: "Scents of key lime pie and wet stone, as much a legacy of judicious reduction as an indictment of a superb, low-yielding bonsai-like site. Peach, apricot pith, nougatine and hazelnut. A skein of succulent, maritime freshness drags impressive length, while the breadth and intensity of flavor is a raft of indisputable quality. A powerful chardonnay, underlined by a mid-weighted carapace of tension and verve. Drink or hold. (2022 vintage notes) " 97 Points - James Suckling
- ABOUT THE WINE: All grapes are sourced from the tiny 1.2ha vineyard in Wilyabrup, 100% malolactic fermentation, ageing in old and new oak for 10 months with minimal lees stirring. 4888 bottles produced

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: "Will Berliner and Alison Jobson spent several years in Australia searching for a place that resonated with them, and on their first visit to Margaret River were immediately smitten. When they purchased their land in ‘04 they hadn’t the slightest connection with wine. Within 12 months Will’s perspective had entirely changed, and in ’05 he began planting the vineyard and applying biodynamic preparations, seeking to build microbial life in the soil. They planted the vineyard as if it were a garden, with short rows, and initially planted 0.2ha of each of cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, and 0.1ha of malbec. By ‘20 the vineyard had doubled in size, but without changing the varieties or their proportions." - Halliday Wine Companion
