Overview

Overview

Deep in the south of Margaret River, beyond where most tourists venture, stand towering Karri forests, protecting a hidden cave they call the Devil’s Lair. It’s after this unassuming and somewhat shy cave – one of Australia’s most significant archaeological sites – that Devil’s Lair is named.

Offering considerable complexity for its peer group, the The Hidden Cave Chardonnay is elegant yet rich with a strong citrus backbone and subtle French oak influence

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

A youthful wine of white nectarine, crème vanilla and pink grapefruit. Subtle hazelnut and lifted citrus aromas providing freshness and complexity.

Elegant and generous white peach and toasty brioche flavours with a natural grapefruit freshness and vibrancy. Vibrant citrus acidity and a subtle creaminess craft a harmonious, layered and balanced wine.

Margaret River, Western Australia

Margaret River’s jarrah and marri forests give way to sun, surf, sand – and since the 1970s, some of the most powerful, yet elegant Cabernets and Chardonnays around. It’s also famed for sumptuous Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends.

Ben Miller - Winemaker

After graduating in 1996 and after a short stint in a local winery in the Hunter Valley, Ben Miller travelled and worked in the most coveted winemaking regions of the world like Bordeaux, Champagne, Alsace, Rhone and Burgundy. This experience has served him well as senior winemaker at Devil’s Lair, where his philosophy has been to create outstanding examples of Margaret River’s leading varietals.
