It has been a while since I was at Wise Winery, we drove through Eagle Bay on the way through to Margaret River and it gave me the opportunity to recall when we were regulars here in the early 2000s.
The tasting room was in the same area, there had been plenty of modifications since I was there last. The views from the restaurant hadn’t changed though, the view of Eagle Bay is always magnificent.
On this day, the high cloud cover met the horizon for an unusual summer day in the South West of Australia. The restaurant was full, seating was at a premium as we arrived at midday. As I recall, this restaurant was fine dining although we were not finding out today. The whites were pretty good, crisp and balanced. The chardonnay was wooded and was made in the new style with some French oak influences but not overpowering. We never got to taste the Eagle Bay range, we were already happy with our experience and there is always next time.
