Burnside Vineyard Chardonnay

Producers

The property was purchased in 1976, at the time a run-down farm on the sharpest bend of the Margaret River. Located close to the coast with views of the Indian Ocean, the name Burnside has its origins in Ireland where it means one who lives by a burn or stream.

Tasting note	Thirty year old vines have produced an intensely powerful example of Margaret River Chardonnay. Multi-layered and complex the nose reveals ripe peach flesh, creamy cashew and sweet dough treats. The palate is richly fruited and complex with textured layers of stonefruit, nutty nougat and wet stone minerality. A finely focused finish of citrus infused acidity adds controlled elegance to a compelling palate. Hard to resist. PDF download full product information
Awards and Accolades	94 points, James Halliday Has the brightest straw-green colour of the three individual vineyard '12 chardonnays; all three were wild-fermented in old (inert) oak and concrete vessels; the black micaceous soil is unique, and the wine has the greatest generosity and longest finish and aftertaste.
