APPEARANCE: A pristinely clear rim, bright straw in colour with hues of green. AROMA: Made purely from free run juice, this elegant yet flavoursome wine has delicate citrus blossom aromas on the nose. PALATE: Attractive lemon and lime sherbert characters on the palate and crisp clean mineral acidity.

Vintage 42 at Ashbrook saw one of our earliest starts to harvest with the first 4th. Chardonnay grapes coming into the winery on February Less than ideal spring weather impacted flowering and fruit-set in several white varieties resulting in lower than normal yields. Warmer than average spring temperatures evolved into perfect summer growing conditions which accelerated grape development. Timely flowering of native Marri trees kept bird pressure at bay. The combination of lower yields, a warm, dry ripening and no disease pressure resulted in fruit of exceptional quality with concentrated aromas and flavours.
