Oates End Chardonnay 2022 from Margaret River is a seriously classy white, all stone fruit and citrus wrapped in fine oak. Think white peach, nectarine and lemon curd with hints of apricot blossom, roasted nuts and a touch of spice, sitting over that classic coastal freshness.

The palate is full‑flavoured yet poised, with ripe peach and grapefruit, creamy lees texture and a line of bright acidity keeping everything focused and long. It’s a proper modern Margaret River chardonnay – fleshy but not fat, with oak in support rather than shouting. Drink now or happily over the next five to seven years as it gains more savoury complexity.

Oates End Chardonnay 2022 shines with roast chicken, pork with crackling, richer fish like salmon, creamy seafood, lobster rolls, mushroom risotto and soft, rind‑ripened cheeses. It’s a go‑to for Sunday lunches and seafood feasts alike.
