Region
Margaret River is Western Australia`s premier and fashionable vineyard region. Situated along the coast three hours south of Perth, this picturesque region is exposed to the effects of the Indian Ocean currents. Margaret River is reknowned for producing Australia`s premier cool climate wines. Ultra chic and trendy, most producers are high quality,small and boutique with an emphasis on Sauvignon Blanc, Semilion and Chardonnay for whites and the classic Bordeaux red varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This region has received much critical acclaim from journalists and afficienados of the wine industry. A region already established as one of Australia`s finest, but still young in global terms, there is still much potential to be unleashed.
Producer
The Hamelin Bay winery is located at Karridale in the southern point of the region within a few miles of the ocean.

Tasting (Long)
The wine has a youthful straw green colour, aromas of grassy citrus fruits that competee with floral pear and melon with emerging hints of kiwi and passion fruit. The palate is very appealing with white fruits, plush weight and excellent harmonious finish.
