Estate
Flametree, Margaret River. James Halliday Five Red Star (top 2%).
Region
S.R.S. stands for Sub Regional Series. Wallcliffe is the sub-region closest to the river mouth, the most directly maritime-influenced part of Margaret River and widely regarded as its best white-wine ground.
Variety & Style
A sub-regional bottling is unblended by design — what you taste is one place. Wallcliffe Chardonnay tends toward line and minerality rather than fruit weight.
What to Expect
This wine needs the right glass and the right temperature, and a little patience. If you want something that tastes good the moment it is poured, the core Chardonnay (#14) is the better wine for you. This one is for drinkers interested in the difference between places.
Serving
12°C — not colder — in a large glass. Fine fish, shellfish, chicken. Cellars 8 years or more.
