Evoi 'Reserve' Chardonnay 2019
Founded by New Zealand-born Nigel Ludlow, who brings a wealth of experience from his international winemaking stints, Evoi has quickly risen to prominence since its inception. The winery specializes in producing premium wines, with a particular focus on Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside blends like Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillion and the Satyr, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Evoi’s commitment to quality and expression or regional characteristics has established it as a key player in showcasing the best of Margaret River’s winemaking potential.
Margaret River is a maritime-influenced Mediterranean region with a long, gentle ripening season and ancient gravelly soils, conditions that consistently support high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
