"A good deal of clovey spice and a solid amount of cherry-plum flavour. This won’t leave anyone wanting. Floral characters and anise-like accents continue a most attractive theme. Good to go now" Halliday Wine Companion 2021

Deep red with purple hues. Dark berry fruits and fragrant floral notes spiced with hints of peppercorn, redskins, white pepper and subtle toasty barrel ferment characters. A medium-bodied wine yet offering ample depth with plenty of dark forest fruits, hints of game and subtle spice. The moreish, jubey fruit and approachable tannins combine to produce a generous wine with a supple silky mouthfeel and a fantastic persistence of flavour.

Fruit for this blend was entirely Estate grown on their Boodjidup and Stevens Road vineyards in the Wallcliffe sub-region of Margaret River.

The 2018 growing season began with good, even budburst after average Winter rainfall. The mild Spring which followed ensured that there was good flowering and fruit set. A moderate start to Summer, with no heat extremes, set up the harvest well with white varieties offering great flavour intensity and bright acidity. There was an incredible display of Marri blossom (tagged as a once in a generation ‘mega-blossom’) which meant bird pressure was practically nonexistent whilst the whites were harvested. A minor rain event occurred in mid-March, which was followed by fine warm conditions which prevailed right through to middle of April allowing all red varieties to achieve great flavour and tannin ripeness. In summary 2018 will be remembered as an outstanding vintage!

The fruit was destemmed and then crushed with open rollers to introduce whole berries into the ferment. The core components were fermented in static fermenters at 25°C for 6 days. However, 15% of the blend was pressed early and barrel fermented in entirely new French Barriques, before completing MLF and maturation in older oak. For the remaining components, after fermentation and pressing, batches underwent MLF and 14 months maturation in a combination of French oak barriques and large format oak vessels on lees (45%), prior to assembling the blend and bottling.

Loved it
Format: Kindle
This book was a Rollercoaster of emotions and I was all about it. I love the relationship between Luca and Juliette bc it was real and human. It showed growth, love, and understanding. It wasn't easy but it was real. I enjoyed every moment of it especially the soul marks. That was a wonderful element to the plot that I would love to read more of.

So cute
Format: Paperback
Ok, going into this, I didn't realize this had any fantasy-ish/magical elements, so for a minute, that threw me off. But honestly, I was really pleasantly surprised by this book. I had never heard of Katie Chandler before, but had seen the book mentioned on a list of upcoming releases so I just thought I would give it a try. This is a classic rivals to lovers story and I was here for it! Luca and Juliette were pretty nasty to each other in the beginning so it definitely took a minute for them to come around. I really enjoyed the amount of character growth that happened in this story. Juliette especially comes a long way within herself to be a better person her Luca and for herself. It was definitely a bit of a rollercoaster with the push and pull, but it paid off in the end. The idea of a "fated mates" situation, in a mostly contemporary romance was definitely original and I look forward to seeing how she might incorporate those fantasy elements into future books. 4 stars from me! Great story.

Makes me want to buy tennis outfits
Format: Paperback
I love a book that transports me and boy does this one ever! I've read it and listened to the audiobook. The travel and luxury vibes in this are elite as is the anxiety representation (which I appreciate.) Love this book and love this author!

ummm.

Did I miss something?!? I immediately preordered this book after reading the synopsis. It did not meet my expectations. Especially for 13.99.

Underdeveloped Debut
Format: Kindle
Chandler’s debut novel started out as an engaging read, though the storyline leaned heavily on a trope that is used too frequently. The protagonists, Juliette and Luca, had great chemistry as rivals. However, as the plot developed and the supernatural twist was revealed (which felt akin to the film In Time, but only with respect to the tattoos), both lost their appeal. Luca seemed to lack depth, despite the fact that she was supposed to be the more emotional and sensitive one. Juliette was insufferable at times and I did not believe the growth she underwent in order to find her way back to Luca. The supporting characters were forgettable and their interactions with Juliette and Luca did nothing to save the characterization flaws. The conflict between Juliette and Luca seemed forced towards the middle and end too, as Luca put in more effort into their relationship than Juliette did. By the end of the novel, unfortunately, my eyes reverted to skimming the pages, so I could finish it faster. Please note that while I found fault with most elements of the novel, it overall was not an unpleasant read— just very dull. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria, as I was invited to read this novel after receiving an e-mail from Atria Books.
