AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2021 Reserve Chardonnay is made with fruit from the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River, the clone is 100% Gin Gin.

Rains during the month of January helped to freshen up the vineyard and top our dams and water tanks. Fortunately these rains were followed by sunny dry conditions and we found minimal disease pressure in the vineyard, which was mitigated with a little crop thinning. Yields have returned to normal cropping levels.

The fruit is hand picked early in the morning to retain freshness, then placed into the cool-room to chill further overnight. The next morning, the whole bunches are tipped into the press. The free run juice is gently pressed off to a stainless steel holding tank and allowed to settle naturally overnight. The slightly cloudy juice is then racked to a mixture of new, second and third use French oak barrels.

Fermentation occurs spontaneously and completed via wild fermentation. Once primary fermentation is concluded the wine is sulfured to ensure freshness and that secondary fermentation does not take place.

The wine is aged for nine months in barrel, with occasional stirring of lees to gain complexity and texture prior to bottling.

Our best parcels of Chardonnay is reserved for this wine, it is hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and wild fermented. Bursting with white peach, nashi pear and citrus with fine flinty notes. The palate is delicate and elegant with wonderful balance and persistence. Matured in French oak for nine months this wine will drink beautifully now or can be cellared for the long term.

About Amelia Park Wines

We believe fine wines come from a rich blend of time-honoured method and modern technique. Winemaking is our passion. Each wine is hand-crafted and captures the essence of the fruit. Quality is at the heart of everything we do.

Located in the heart of the beautiful Margaret River Wine region of Western Australia, Amelia Park Wines was established in 2009 by Jeremy & Daniela Gordon and Peter Walsh. Combining leading edge techniques with traditional winemaking values and practices, winemaker and co-owner Jeremy Gordon believes success starts in the vineyard, where great wines are grown from superior and consistent fruit quality. The resulting wines are elegant, fruit-driven varietals, complex in structure yet easily and irresistibly enjoyable.

This philosophy has seen Jeremy receive numerous awards throughout his career including Australia’s most coveted awards, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy and the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge. Along with these awards, Jeremy has won multiple trophies at high calibre wine shows including the International Wine Competition, Decanter World Wine Awards, Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit Competition, National Wine Show of Australia, James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge, Great Australian Shiraz Challenge, Margaret River Wine Show, Perth Royal Wine Show, Qantas Wine Show, Royal Queensland Wine Show and the Winewise Championships. Amelia Park was again awarded 5 Red Stars in the latest edition of James Halliday’s Wine Companion.

This award confirms Amelia Park on the list of the Best Wineries in the Margaret River Region and in the top 5% of wineries in Australia. In November 2014, Amelia Park was named Margaret River Winery of the Year at the Melbourne International Wine Competition and Jeremy was named a finalist for International Red Winemaker of the Year 2015 at the International Wine Challenge. The easy drinking Trellis range has been recognised by esteemed wine writer Ray Jordan as best in class – offering remarkable value for the money.
