Refresh yourself with this 92pt Margaret River Chardonnay from a top, Five Red Star-rated estate. “Pale lemon hue, bright and clear in the glass. Fragrant nose of lemon zest, cashew nut and struck flint. Tight and focused from entry to finish with lemon balm, oyster shell and a hint of buttery richness underneath. There is a lot of wine here for the price. 92pts” (Stuart Knox, The Real Review). Ray Jordan calls it “a mighty impressive chardonnay for this price. It a wild fermented and then spent 11 months in oak on lees before more time in stainless steel before bottling. Plenty of melon and light cashew with an understated stone fruit influence. Finishes with a twist of lemon.”. I Evans & Tate was founded in the early '70s when its prized Redbrook vineyard was established at Wilyabrup.
