Domaine Naturaliste Floris Chardonnay 2019 Western Australia Margaret RiverDomaine Naturaliste Floris Chardonnay 2019 is a modern and engaging expression of our local clone into wine. This style is a co-evolution of Modern Australian food and wine culture, which has great emphasis on balance, freshness and hedonistic pleasure. The sustainably farmed vineyard is in the cool southern end of Margaret River. Floris exhibits delicate textures and floral notes reminiscent of white jasmine flowers.
All about complexity and texture, the richer fruit from the Wallcliffe district absorbing 10 months in French barriques (30% new, but low-medium toast). Fresh grapefruit also takes care of the oak of a carefully built wine.

The grapes for this wine come from 2 vineyards, both on white granite soils in the famed Beechworth GI, the first at an elevation of 550m ASL and the second at 400m ASL. Fruit from the higher elevation makes up 70% of the wine and brings purity and minerality akin to the best Chardonnays coming out of the Yarra Valley. The second parcel brings the funk along with a dash of that trademark Beechworth generosity.
Once in the winery we took a back seat and let this spectacular fruit do all the work. Gently whole bunch pressed to French Oak Barriques, 1,2,3 & 4 year old as well as one new specially selected 500L Puncheon. About half the barrels were fermented naturally by the yeast indigenous to the vineyard. Several different cultured yeasts were used in the other barrels. In 2019 we didn’t allow the ferments to get as warm as previous years, this coupled with the growing season resulted in a tighter, finer boned Chardonnay. Post fermentation the wine spent 10 months in oak on full lees, stirred semi regularly. MLF was restricted to 25% of the barrels. Lightly filtered then bottled January 2020.
