Engine Room Motif Label Chardonnay 2011
About the wine
TBD
- Quite simply Chardonnay is to Mclaren Vale what Sauv Blanc is Marlborough.
- Remember shoulder pad Kylie in Neighbours... and now look at her; Fresh, elegant and a backside to admire! The better Aussie chardonnays (like the Engine room) have been through the same metamorphasis? so if you're thinking big oaky chardonnay, instead think modern Kylie.
- This wine has powerful peach and melon fruit aromas complexed with subtle spicy oak -yum!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Hamish Maguire
- Hamish was born into a respected winemaking family and raised among the McLaren Vale vineyards. His passion for the industry isn’t just down to family ties though, vintages in traditional wineries in Europe sealed his grape-induced fate.
- Hamish's 'day job' is overseeing his successful family business — a much respected and awarded Mclaren Vale winery. But he's a visionary and a rebel at heart, so in 2012, he joined the Naked Wines family to make Angels his ‘passion’ wines — Engine Room.
- His Engine Room wines are a product of imagination and a willingness to be different. These skillful blends of traditional with ‘alternative’ varieties, coupled with Angel backing, gives Hamish a creative outlet from the typical winemaking of the region to create something new and exciting. And it's made him one of our most popular winemakers in the process!
