From Margaret River, Western Australia, the Devils Lair 9th Chamber Chardonnay 2017 offers a focused, refined Chardonnay with restrained oak and bright acidity.
- The wine shows stone fruit and citrus on the nose, with subtle almond and vanilla notes from oak integration.
- On the palate it remains precise and linear, delivering white peach, lemon citrus, and a clean mineral backbone.
- A versatile pick for seafood, poultry, and creamy sauces, with enough depth to reward small, thoughtful cellaring.
