Synonymous with exceptional quality. Atticus wines are vintaged in the fertile soils of the highly regarded Margaret River region of the South - West Australia. This wine was crafted with fruit from a single vineyard and aged in French Oak Barrels, resulting in distinctive varietal and regional characters.

James Halliday "As much about elegance as power, though there's certainly no shortage of the latter. Such clean lines here. Lactose, dry pear, apple, oatmeal and white peach. There's oak here but it's seamlessly woven. Fluid finish. Beautiful expression of Margaret River."

James Halliday "Mid green-gold the complex bouquet displays grapefruit, nectarine and quality barrel-fermented oak; the fluid and very well balanced, medium bodied palate offers generous levels of fruit, good acidity and a long finish." (2011 vintage)

Winestate "Lovely deep golden-green chardonnay showing toasty nutty aromas and rich, full-bodied, fleshy palate, with attractive layers of varietal fruit intensity." (2010 vintage)

James Halliday "Vibrant green hue; nectarine grapefruit and lots of attractive oak from judicious oak handling; the zesty acidity provides a lively palate that is direct and long, powerful and precise; a complex and heady blend of power and finesse the west is becoming famous" (2010 vintage)

Decanter - "Elegant and restrained with very nice notes of white peaches and nectarines. Medium-bodied, creamy and crisp with long stone fruit after taste." (2010 vintage)

Roger Jones - "Lush, rich and lingering, full-on texture and multi-layered lingering fruit and developing well." (2010 vintage)

Alessandro Marchesan "Elegant and restrained with very nice notes of white peaches and nectarines. Medium-bodied, creamy and crisp with long stone fruit after taste." (2010 vintage)

James Halliday "A very successful venture under the control of CEO Ron Fraser. The wines come from the estate vineyards planted to chardonnay, Semillon, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and merlot.....[The winery's] ultra-premium wines are under the Atticus label."

Atticus is owned by Chapman Grove Wines; a small winery focussed on making limited edition fine wines from Margaret River, Western Australia. Described by Australia's N#1 wine critic, James Halliday as "a very successful venture", the winery is known for its highly rated wines and was established in 2005 by an esteemed veteran of the industry, Ron Fraser. Pop Up Wine has secured back vintages of a collection of its highly rated wines.

Atticus utilises exceptional fruit which is all 100% estate grown to create its world-class wines. Its range includes varieties most suited to the Margaret River climate, with French oak used to bring out flavours of the terroir, creating a true expression of the region.

The winery achieved the highly coveted 5 Red Star rating from James Halliday within three short years of first entering the Wine Companion in 2009. Since the the estate's first release in 2006, its wines have been awarded 4 Trophies, 3 Top Gold, 3 Gold, 8 Silver and 39 Bronze medals.

Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Although the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America.
