From the Lagan Vineyard at Wilyabrup, Gingin clone, hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, wild yeast-fermented in French oak (35% new), lees-stirred during 9-month maturation, no mlf, a selection of the best barrels. This is the most complex of the ‘13 Xanadu chardonnays, yet retains the hallmark precision and elegance of its siblings. 7 months after its first tasting, its power, intensity and extreme length have come into full focus, gaining another point.

Subtle oak; lemony flavour; tight, fine, crisp and intense in the mouth. A very good wine in a restrained, Chablis-like style. Invisible oak. Light-bodied and delicious with a great acid line. This is just starting to hit its straps and will live long. (It was exceedingly tight when it was first released).
