2009 Great Southern Chardonnay
Selected chardonnay grapes from the Porongurup region have been hand picked and whole bunch pressed, using slow wild ferments in small French oak barrels to produce a wine with complex aromas of cashew, grapefruit and lemon blossom. The palate structure is fine and elegant with great oak integration, generous mouthfeel and palate length.

07 Meursault
Selected chardonnay grapes from the village of Meursault have been hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, using slow wild ferments in small French barrels to make a wine complex and floral on the nose and mineral, elegant and long on the palate.
Tasting Note by David LeMire MW: Although simply labelled Meursault, the origin is the lieux-dit Narvaux, situated to the south of village, heading towards Puligny. The vineyard is above the premier cru Genevrieres, and at this end of Meursault, the style is more restrained, less opulent, with some finesse and steeliness, rather than the more open and opulent style that Meursault can sometimes show. It was matured in old French oak puncheons, on gross lees, but with just 3 stirrings, which were done on fruit days during the 20 months elevage.

2009 Gibraltar Rock Pinot Noir
Gibraltar rock vineyard nestles into the north face of the Porongorup range famous for its granite outcrops and ancient soils. Combined with a commitment to quality viticulture the pinot noir grown here has more mineral and floral characters underlying the dense cherry and raspberry fruit. A fine savory texture and lingering structural tannins complete an intriguing example of a single site pinot noir.
