Devil's Lair9th Chamber Chardonnay
About this product
Devil's Lair have been leaders in producing some of Margaret River's, if not Australia's, best and well-balanced Chardonnays. Now they have decided to take it to the next stage and release their first single vineyard estate Chardonnay. This wine is a triumph of both winemaking and viticulture - a perfect balance has been achieved between toasty complexity with an almost unctuous feel along with a level of restraint and purity. Almost like the wine has been cinched in with perfectly placed pleats.

The inaugural release of this estate-grown wine, only produced in the best vintages; entirely fermented and matured in second-use French oak, the lees stirred for 10 months. The bouquet brings grapefruit, nectarine and white peach fruit into play, the oak imparting spicy/nutty characters; the palate is incredibly rich and unctuous, yet retains elegance thanks to the multilayered texture and tight focus. Elegant and intense, especially in the context of other '09 Margaret River chardonnays.
