EVOI "Reserve" 2020 - Chardonnay - Margaret River - Australia
EVOI "Reserve" - Chardonnay - Margaret River - Australia
This is a very complex wine which will reward cellaring. Primary characters are pineapple, peach, nectarine, grapefruit peel, and fig, layered with secondary savoury notes from yeast autolysis and a touch of hazelnut and cashew with elegant French oak overtones on the finish.

Critique Review
“This is intensely worked and complex, layers of flavour and texture mingle with fruit and spice. Green melon, kiwifruit, yellow peach and guava. Hints of spicy pawpaw through the finish. Quite exotic and fine, the oak playing a significant role in the proceedings.”

Vineyard Info
The owner of EVOI Wines, Nigel Ludlow, began his career in his native New Zealand, and after 5 years of globetrotting as a flying winemaker in Hungary, South Africa, and Spain, he decided to settle down in the beautiful region of Margaret River, Western Australia in 2003. His passion for winemaking led him to start his own label and so in 2007 EVOI Wines was created from 2 barrels of Chardonnay. Since then the business has grown into a highly acclaimed boutique winery, awarded “Western Australia Winery of the Year” at the Melbourne International Wine Show and a Halliday 5 Red Star rating. Over the years the core values of the brand have remained unchanged, and Nigel has stuck to a hands-on approach to winemaking, consistently producing wines of exceptional quality, which exude regionality and are full of character.
