Voyager Estate’s superb Chardonnay has all the presence, elegance and purity of fruit that we have come to expect from this renowned producer. In particular, it reflects the cooler climate of the Wallcliffe sub-region and, more precisely, the Stevens Valley—arguably Margaret River’s finest Chardonnay zone. The area is characterised by gentle slopes of red/brown gravelly soils, with a stony/clay subsoil. Influenced by cooling breezes from the nearby Indian Ocean, it’s a superb microclimate for Chardonnay, and the Voyager team pulls out all the stops to deliver on this promise.
The fruit was hand-harvested and cooled overnight, then whole-bunch pressed and transferred to French oak barriques for natural fermentation. Selected parcels underwent malolactic fermentation and the wine was aged for nine months in oak barriques, undergoing regular bâtonnage before final blending and bottling in January 2022. The vineyard is comprised of four separate blocks planted to six different clones of Chardonnay with each bringing different nuances to the wine. This includes the well-known Gin Gin clone, which brings power and concentration; and the Dijon Clones 95, 96 and 76, which offer a more restrained flavour profile and contribute wonderful texture, finesse and freshness.
