Stella Bella Description
Suckfizzle. A name and story with a sense of fun and serious substance. A tale of two giants, our man Great Lord Suckfizzle roamed the earth drinking wine engaging in pointless irrele-vant conversation with his rival Great Lord Kissmyarse And so it be. The Suckfizzle Vineyard T he most southern and unique vineyard in the Margaret River Region. Situated on the Cape Leeuwin. Surrounded by the Southern and Indian Oceans and just a stone’s throw from the Blackwood River inlet. T his extraordinary location is influenced by the prevailing Antarctic winds of the Southern Ocean and moderated by warmth of the mighty Blackwood river. By day it is 5-7 degrees cooler than Cape Naturaliste and by night, the river brings warmth to the soil. Thus, creating wines with distinct flavour, character and age-ability.
Appearance: Yellow with lime hues.
Aroma: The prevailing Antarctic winds create distinction and character in this wine. Salty, sea-sprayed fruit contributes to a unique and complex oyster shell character. Salty nougat, nutty character, peach fuzz, zesty citrus and smoky oak round out the generous nose.
Palate: Incredible power of fruit. Textured and mouthwatering, there is obvious chemistry between the fruit and the oak. Flavours of crushed lime, lemon and sea salt. Lively mineral acidity and layered texture. Pure, powerful and unparalleled Chardonnay. Enjoyment Pappardelle con misto di funghi (Papparedelle with mushroom ragù) – Gourmet Traveler.

James Suckling: 97 Points
"This has a slightly reductive edge to the nose with sliced-lemon, grilled-almond and peach character. Really fresh and pristine. The palate has a very impressive, concentrated feel with nectarines, peaches and citrus fruit. So pure and long."
