Peccavi Chardonnay 2010

Jeremy Muller has assembled a fine team to bring to reality his dream of a world-class wine business based in Margaret River. This project is steadily gaining momentum, and today Peccavi (whose name derives from one of the most famous military quotes of all time) is emerging as a producer of wines whose Old Worldly elegance and suppleness actually extend the region's impressive repertoire. Peccavi has a spectacular site on rolling hills above Yallingup and is actually the Margaret River's highest vineyard. It has been refined and expanded in a way that is extremely impressive, with varieties being carefully matched to the number of profoundly different soil types and microclimates o nthe single estate. Today, each of Peccavi's wines are amongst the very finest of Margaret River, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. Peccavi's new Merlots, built around Australia's first plantings of the latest Bordeaux clones of this variety, are leading the way in this country. The second label is named 'No Regrets', something Latin scholars should not fail to appreciate. It massively over-delivers at its price point. The top level The Estate wines are frankly amongst the best this region has yet seen, bringing a world-class level of intensity and elegance. Peccavi is shortly to construct a new winery on the property.
