Description Bright, textural and balanced Wildlight Chardonnay from Margaret River. Once fermented to dry, the barrels of Chardonnay were stirred monthly to ensure textural development from the lees and seamless integration of oak and fruit flavours. Winemaker Chris Credaro then carefully blended from the best barrels. Waves of white stone fruit and hints of lemon and lime on the nose. Nectarine, grapefruit and hints of toasted brioche supported by soft acid and a subtle oak influence. As fresh and clean as an early spring day. Pair it with a crayfish linguine in white wine sauce or withsoft cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
Renowned for its surf breaks, Margaret River is also famous for its wine production and tourism. Margaret River wines account for just 3% of Australia’s annual wine production, but commands over 20 percent of the Australian premium wine market.
Little wonder the wines are rather pricey in nature. The region is made up of boutique wineries. The weather is maritime, with warm summers, influenced by refreshing sea breezes and strong winds and rather akin to Bordeaux.
