"Good value"- Kasia Sobiesiak
Domaine Naturaliste is the project of highly acclaimed winemaker Bruce Dukes. After twenty five years of applying his craftsmanship to international and local producers, Dukes launched his own range of wines named after the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge; the dominant land form of viticultural significance in Margaret River.
This 2024 Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of Margaret River Chardonnay, with grapes harvested at moderate ripeness to retain freshness and natural balance. A perfumed, delicate and textured example, this is bursting with plenty of stonefruit and citrus fruit flavours, with quality oak playing merely a support role. At this great price, you'd struggle to find better value Chardonnay drinking from any producer in Australia.
"Straightforward fruit power, upfront juiciness with plenty of lime and grapefruit zest, sweet-sour green apple, peach sorbet, pomelo, a light hint of toast and pithy finish. Turbocharged with juicy fruit and zingy freshness. Good value. 92 Points. Tasted:
Oct25 12.5% alc. $30 Screwcap Drink: 2025 - 2028"- Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front.
