Description

The Purus is a razor-sharp beauty of a Chardonnay.

There is no malolactic fermentation or excessive oak maturation, just pure and pristine Chardonnay fruit from the cooler southern reaches of Margaret River. Wild herbs and florals, grapefruit and citrus, pebbles and stones...

There's fantastic tension and nerve, and a biting minerality within a soothingly fine palate.

Wonderful counterpoint to the rich Artus Chardonnay, cementing Domaine Naturaliste's position among the upper echelon of Australia's Chardonnay producers.

Flashy, reductive aromas of grapefruit, lime zest, green apples, wet stones, struck match and oyster shells. The palate is tightly wound and precise with driven acidity and a chalky texture, showing lemon pith, white peaches, hazelnuts and flint. Mineral and focused with great tension and length. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Whereas the Artus was kinda funky, this one has a precise purity and freshness about it, showing lots of white peach, a little nectarine, citrus, and a sort of lemon curd–brioche combination. The palate has a slight savoury chalky confluence that comes together and then drives with great purpose through to a long finish. This is the most stylish expression of Margaret River chardonnay that captures the awesome power of the fruit from this region.

    Lovely white wine

    Refreshing white with flavours of peach, minerality, and vanilla. Enjoyed this wine very much and will definitely buy again

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.
