Heydon EstateThe Willow Chardonnay Magnum 1500mL 2014
About this product
A deliciously fresh yet complex bouquet of vibrant lime, lemon blossom, white peach, toasted almond and beeswax, with alluring butterscotch notes. The palate displays a lovely silken texture, revealing multiple layers of flavour and refreshing, balanced acidity. Grapefruit is prominent; there is also lime zest and honey nougat characters and a fine minerality throughout. This is an elegant expression of quality Margaret River Chardonnay, finishing with great persistence. Fine grain French oak is flawlessly integrated and balanced, in line with the winery extended bottle ageing regime.

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Hand picked 100% gingin clone, whole-bunch pressed, cloudy juice to French oak (40% new), wild fermentation. This is true elegance, the straightest of straight bats. Margaret River isn’t given to producing Chablis style, but this has a go, with many years (and runs) ahead." Drink to 2026.
