VIneyard | All of Voyager Estate grapes are grown in the gravel and loam soils of their vineyards. This Chardonnay block has its own distinct personality which they encourage to flourish through their natural approach to viticulture.
CHILL IT DOWN, BUT NOT TO MUCH
The wine is pale gold in colour and instantly impresses thanks to the mix of citrus, melon and floral fruits with a nice touch of nougat lees complexity. The palate is then taut and bright – crisp acidity gives impact to its finely detailed fruits that are topped off with a long and silky finish. It is certainly not as concentrated as many Margaret River Chardonnay. This wine is hard to fault. Chill it down, but not too much, and sip it with yabbies hot off the barbecue"
