96 points - “Feeling tired and sluggish? A glass of this pure, racy Purus will bring spark back into your life. It’s more than the refreshing acidity, which is moreish and energising, there’s a light film of citrus and white stone fruit, a little spice, a very fine layering of texture and oak. Superb balance and length. Love it.” - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

96 points - "Dijon Clones of chardonnay 76 and 95, plus a little Clone 5 from California. This is precise and poised, etched out of crystal. Kinetic and tensile; hums with a high-frequency acidity. Candied lime and jasmine, white peach and grapefruit. An achingly pure acid line. Thrilling." - Nick Ryan (The Weekend Australian)

96 points - "25 year old vines of Dijon clones grown in Karridale. Zero malolactic and matured in 40% new French oak. Lemonade fruit, white peach and struck blue stones, running river stream and hints of chalk. The palate explodes with guava and candied lemon drops. Scintillating acidity is a dominant feature which undulates and expands like a set of rolling waves. There is a salted lime rim and some real power with brawn. Purus takes you on a journey south where fruit grows a little differently and the whole drinking experience is a compelling one. A mesh of finely spun phenolics rounds out the finish. Fascinating stuff. Drink this wine with sashimi of snapper and white soy." - Shanteh Wale (Wine Pilot)

96 points - “Quite a different take on the Artus is this more classically defined modern expression of the variety. There is a pristine purity evident immediately with a floral cut lime and pear lift on the nose. Then the palate coils and tightens as it extends through to a very long finish. An elegant wine with a purity and finesse that is so appealing.” - Ray Jordan

95 points - “The nose is wonderfully giving and inviting with complex aromas of lemon curd, orange blossoms, oyster shells and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate has high-tension acidity and generous mouthfeel, giving notes of grapefruit pith, jasmine and gun smoke. Mineral with an underlying power and salty finish." - James Suckling

Purus is a translation of pristine flavours, textures and the climate of southern Margaret River Chardonnay into wine.

The vines have been carefully managed to allow only dappled light into the fruiting zone. This promotes flavour development, low tannins and bright levels of natural acidity. The fruit is sourced from select parcels of Dijon clones grown in the cool southern end of Margaret River. The compact bunches of perfectly solarised berries are hand harvested at first light to preserve freshness of fruit.

Pure perfumes of white pear, jasmine flower and wet granite are elegantly suspended above a palate carved from grapefruit pith and white nectarine flesh. Lashings of focused white fruit tannin and porcelain texture and length culminate in a sheer wall of quenching minerality and bristling tension.
