Nic takes fruit from 20 year old vines in the heart of Wilyabrup, the epicentre of top-flight Chardonnay in this region. The ferments for the ten barrels of this stonking wine took nine months, way more than normal. With regular lees stirring and the extended fermentation time, it is more textured and powerful than previous releases, with rich stone fruit and hazelnut flavours and a creamy mouthfeel.

Erin Larkin - Halliday Wine Companion

Predominantly (90%) Gingin clone, the rest a mix. Long primary fermentation (all wild yeasts) of 10 months, mlf in that time. Fresh curry leaf, white peach, crushed cashew, flat leaf parsley, red apple skins, a whack of pink grapefruit and layers of orchard flowers, gum leaf and licorice. What a cracking wine this is. A kaleidescopic array of fruit, a flinty, wild kind of countenance, and a long, sinuous line of flavour that gives a little 'come hither' at the final turn. Peterkin doesn't make enough of this wine. Or perhaps that's the secret.*

Rating: 97/100.
