Joseph River Estate 2023 Reserve Chardonnay
Our multi award-winning Joseph River Reserve Chardonnay in 2023 was harvested from a single vineyard in Margaret River, fermented and matured in a selection of French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Medium straw with pale lime green rim. Intense butter toast, roasted almonds and white fruits on the nose. The palate offers a dry, soft natural acidity and nuttiness.
