Chardonnay 2008
Our Chardonnay 2008 is a superb example of new style Chardonnay. The crisp, pure fruit flavours are complemented by the complexity of wild and cultured yeasts, fermented in a mix of French oak barrels from several suppliers and forests. The fruit flavours emphasise the citrus (grapefruit) supplemented by white peach and honey. This wine is a class act and perhaps the best we have produced to date.

SPRING 2009
Breaking news!!! Australia’s pre-eminent wine writer and guru James Halliday rates Cape Bernier as a Five-Star Winery, and our two main products Pinot Noir and Chardonnay received 94 pts ratings in James Halliday’s “Australian Wine Companion 2010”. This is a great encouragement and shows that our challenging vineyard site can produce fruit which makes some really good wines. Our very cool coast climate with extensive sunshine, sea breezes gives us a terroir which results in elegant, complex wines – with intense flavours in our Chardonnay and Pinot Gris and a savoury spicy character in our Pinot Noir. Great wines are indeed “made in the vineyard”.
