Bruce@Domaine Naturaliste: Purus is a translation of pristine flavours, textures and climate of southern Margaret River Chardonnay into wine.  The vines have been carefully managed to allow only dappled light into the fruiting zone. This promotes flavour development, low tannins and bright levels of natural acidity.  

Tasting Notes

Pure perfumes of white pear, jasmine flower and wet granite are elegantly suspended above a palate carved from grapefruit pith and white nectarine flesh. Lashings of focused white fruit tannin and porcelain texture and length culminate in a sheer wall of quenching minerality and bristling tension.

Plaudits

There is a pristine purity evident with floral lime and pear on the nose. Then the palate coils and tightens as it extends through to a very long finish. An elegant wine with a purity and finesse that is so appealing. Ray Jordan 96 points.

Feeling tired and sluggish? A glass of this pure, racy Purus will bring spark back into your life. It's more than the refreshing acidity, which is moreish and energising, a very fine layering of texture and oak. Super balance and length. Love it. James Halliday 95 Points.

About Winery

Bruce Dukes is a bit of a guru amongst Margaret River winemakers – everything he touches turns to liquid gold. Some of the wines here (particularly the Cabernets) are spectacular (in quality) and exceptional value. (Domaine Naturaliste was crowned the Best Value Winery in Australia in 2020 by James Halliday.)

James Halliday.
Bruce Dukes is wholly talented, and while he makes high-quality acclaimed wines for his own estate – Domaine Naturaliste – he also does this for a raft of other, smaller producers in Margaret River and Geographe. His winemaking style is one of fresh, pure fruit over obvious or intrusive winemaking artifact, and the wines routinely possess a polish and eminent drinkability.
