FAQ

❓ What does ‘wild fermentation’ mean?
Wild fermentation relies on natural yeasts found on the grapes rather than commercial strains, creating more complexity and character in the wine.

❓ Why is this Chardonnay age-worthy?
Its structure, acidity, and careful oak ageing allow it to develop richness over time while maintaining freshness.

❓ Should I chill this Chardonnay?
Yes, serve at 10–12°C to highlight its crisp fruit and subtle oak. However, don’t serve too cold or you will find the aromas and flavours. If being stored in the fridge leave out for 10 minutes prior to drinking.

❓ What makes this a ‘Reserve’ Chardonnay?
‘Reserve’ wines are made from the best fruit selections, often using more extended barrel ageing to enhance depth and texture.

❓ Why is this the perfect summer Chardonnay?
Its vibrant citrus & stone fruit profile makes it refreshing yet elegant, ideal for warm-weather drinking.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
