Description
Owning my own vineyard and creating fabulous wines have been dreams of mine since I was first introduced to White Burgundy and full bodied Clarets by my father over long Sunday roasts. I spent many years searching New and Old World wine regions – even scouring the sites of ancient Roman vineyards in England – and never found the right spot until one holiday in Margaret River. Impressive on paper, the estate was even more attractive on sight. The location was superb, the terroir hard to surpass, and the fruit, already harvested for over a decade, was in demand from many highly acclaimed local wine producers. The estate was perfect. In retrospect finding the vineyard was the easy part, the second part of my dream has been far more demanding. The last three years have been spent working alongside the best people in the business with our Estate’s premium fruit to ensure the creation of truly remarkable wines; the very best expression of this classic wine region, which we are delighted to introduce under our very own label…Peccavi Wines
Peccavi Chardonnay 2010
Cracka Wines Tasting Note
A finely crafted, elegant chardonnay with appealing complexity beneath its bright, translucent varietal fruit. A crystalline bouquet of grapefruit, pineapple and tropical fruits backed by nuances of minerals and smoky, matchstick oak precedes a concentrated, chalky palate whose deep core of grapefruit and lemon rind flavour moves seamlessly towards a long, tangy and mineral finish wrapped in tight, zesty acids. Points- 93, The Australian Wine Annual 2013 2012
Peccavi Tasting Note
An intriguing wine; very pale green, fine and delicate with quite aromatic fruit and nicely balanced oak. Palate is fine-boned and steely Chablis-like. Palate is the antithesis of overt with long, long cary and such a modern style that will see many years to reach full expression. With 9 months in the finest French Oak, it makes this a great real winemakers wine.
