94 Points – James Halliday Wine Companion

“Bâtonnage was conducted regularly and MLF occurred in some barrels. For all the work, the cool year has kept this totally in line. It’s like a picture of opulence, without actually being opulent. Kind of like a brilliant outdoor fresco. It has crushed nuts, briny acid, toasty oak, salted peach … it’s all there, but it’s restrained. Very smart and well handled. Delicious.” Erin Larkin.

The inspiration for this wine is easy. Chardonnay loves Margaret River, and Margaret River loves Chardonnay. Our love for local Chardonnay is unconditional, and with love comes great respect. Respect for Margaret River as one of the best locations to grow Chardonnay in Australia. Respect for the individual traits of the differing Chardonnay clones grown in the region, the subtle variance of terroir, and particularly what vintage conditions get dished out. Ultimately this all then combines to the greatest respect for the critical role of winemaking in shaping great fruit into brilliant Chardonnay.

Stylistically, we say the 2021 Chardonnay is a contemporary Margaret River Chardonnay with a classical edge.

About South by South West Wines

Shortlisted for 2022 Halliday Wine Companion Awards – Dark Horse Winery
Winner of 2019 Young Gun of Wine People’s Choice Award

South by South West is a small-batch artisan winemaker based in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. We craft wines of excellence and difference that combine respect for the land, with innovative viticultural practices, and both traditional and contemporary winemaking techniques. We want to excite and inspire people to enjoy and respect the terroir of the south west through contemporary interpretations that result in balanced, honest wines.

In addition to tending to our own organically farmed Wallcliffe vineyard we also purchase fruit from a loyal network of pioneering growers. It’s important to us that we can explain the origins of our wine and why we have created that style, the story behind each wine.

Each wine is given the opportunity to develop its own personality in a small batch where it receives the right amount of attention; personality that is founded on the fruit, and realised through the way it is produced, bottled and labelled. In keeping with the traditional aspects of winemaking, our style is focused on minimal intervention to showcase regions, varietals, and vineyards in their rightful form.

Our mission is to produce simple wines using great fruit and minimal intervention, to demonstrate the complex characteristics and values that best represent the south west.
