Crack out the shades with this fresh, fruity style made to be elegant and restrained while showing all the class of Margaret River. Nectarine and peach fruits flavours finishing fresh and dry. Very gluggable!
Aussiewines Tasting Note
Chardonnay by Watershed of Margaret River. On the palate vibrant notes of stonefruit are complemented by fresh grapefruit characters before a slightly nut infused, soft finish and creamy finish. Margaret River makes bold, flavoursome Chardonnay wines, offering a weight of fruit that drinks brilliantly without being aged or exposed to oak. The philosophy at Watershed has always been to produce fine, distinctively regional wines that are elegant and assertive with glorious fruit flavours. Shades should be enjoyed right now alongside chicken or Vietnamese faire.
Winelistaustralia Tasting Note
Margaret River makes bold, flavoursome Chardonnay wines, offering a weight of fruit that drinks brilliantly without being aged or exposed to oak. A conspicuous wine show competition champion, judiciously medium bodied, fragrant with grapefruits and honey dew, kept vital and fresh in modern unwooded styling. The profound richness of natural Chardonnay fruit is upfront and central, lingering at the finish on the toothsome varietal characters of fresh fresh cut melons, tangerines and peach.
