There's incredible weight, ripeness and richness throughout, with hints of toast and crocuses accenting white peach, melon and pineapple fruit, yet also a sense of vibrance and briny freshness on the lengthy finishes. 95-97\" - JC, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The thickness of the skins on Chave’s old vine parcels is what gives this wine its unrestricted depth and intensity, as well as it s ability to age for a very long time. Aromas run from very pretty and floral, through peaches and lemons and into crushed and grilled nuts. The palate is such a textural essay with an attractively youthful and pithy shunt of tannin that underwrites a considerably long finish and long cellaring potential\" - James Suckling","brand":"Domnaine Jean-Louis Chave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43285624193203,"sku":"22893","price":625.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/2513\/1699\/files\/22893.jpg?v=1758691470"},{"product_id":"the-story-westgate-vineyard-blanc-marsanne-roussanne-viognier-2020","title":"The Story Westgate Vineyard Blanc Marsanne Roussanne Viognier 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Rory Lane has carved a name for himself by finding parcels of fruit from far flung places and showing us how beautiful they can be.

One of our favourites, the 2018 white blend continues a tradition of savoury depth and subtlety. Its youthful delicacy unfurls progressively with time, revealing layers of texture, flavour and nuance that offer fascinating drinking. Opening gently, the nose has aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle, pear and fennel.
