A precise, estate-grown Margaret River Chardonnay with nectarine, grapefruit, brioche and saline freshness.
Morlet The Urban Professor Chardonnay 2022 is a small-production wine from estate vines planted in Wilyabrup in 1999. Hand-picked fruit was whole-cluster pressed and wild fermented in Burgundian barrels, with fine-lees ageing adding texture while bright acidity preserves clarity and length.
Why this wine matters
