Description
If you want Chardonnay with some flesh and weight, this is one of the best value you are going to find in Margaret River.
Bruce Dukes' obsession with Chardonnay clones has brought him to the conclusion that the Gin Gin clone is the best suited in Margaret River. As such, he uses this Gin Gin exclusively with all his Chardonnays, searching for sites where the variety does best in his region.
His mid-tier Floris Chardonnay shows ample barrel complexity alongside delicious stone fruit characters and a hint of grapefruit.
Classic Margaret River Chardonnay and great buying at this price.

"Gosh, Floris is charming this vintage. Pared back and refined, but charming nonetheless. A light showing of grapefruit and white nectarine, a flutter of ginger powder and gossamer-like creamy lees. Oak a mere backdrop. Moreish and savoury, and superb now, yet will last some distance."

"This has so much character and nuance, it might take you a few sips before you quite know how to respond. Great wines tend to do that in my opinion. Try this with curry fried cauliflower and garlic naan bread."
