LS Merchants Wilyabrup Margaret River Chardonnay 2022
This wine stopped Australia buyer Freddy Bulmer in his tracks on a buying trip to Margaret River recently. Winemaker Dylan Arvidson has a lot of winemaking experience, working across Australia and abroad, and in 2015 he started buying parcels of fruit to make wines under what is now the LS Merchants name, where he focuses on doing everything by hand with minimal intervention in the winery. This is an incredibly pure expression of Margaret River chardonnay, which would sit comfortably against pricier white Burgundy. The nose is precise, with nuttiness, flint and stone-fruit notes. Made in tiny quantities using a mix of new and old French oak puncheons and with a high percentage of solids for more flavour, this is a textured, fine and succulent white wine. The acidity is pristine but not at all austere and ties everything together remarkably well, with notes of lemon, apricot and pear fruit, five-spice and candied lime peel. This is a masterful take on Australian chardonnay and a must-try for lovers of the grape. Low stock.
