1998 Plantagenet ‘Museum’ Chardonnay
This is the winery that created the

93 points Jeremy Oliver
A cleverly handled and finely balanced chardonnay with tangy freshness and intensity, whose intense grapefruit and pineapple fruit qualities are enhanced by smoky vanilla barrel fermented oak and creamy lees influences. It's long and bright, clean and clear, medium in weight and lingering to taste. Very elegant and stylish.
About Plantagenet
Founded in 1968, Plantagenet has been imbued with the pioneering spirit of Tony Smith, the founder who envisaged great things for his land in Mount Barker, and so – established the very first Great Southern commercial sized Vineyards.
After a long-standing association with Plantagenet Wines, the Lionel Samson (founded in 1829) Sadleirs Group progressively acquired Plantagenet shareholding until full ownership in 2000 – when the first order of business was to retain Tony Smith as Chairman of the company.
A pioneer of the Great Southern region, Plantagenet embodies the best of Western Australia with its distinctive, elegant wines. Steeped in a rich heritage, Plantagenet’s expressive wines and family-owned sensibility make it one of the most trusted wine
brands in the country.
Producing around 30,000 Dozen cases of wine annually, Plantagenet exports to the UK, USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore as well as also supplying the domestic market.
Today, Plantagenet continues to be a family-owned business with Tom (a descendant of Lionel Samson) & Jo Wisdom at the helm and a vision to create wines of provenance and distinction that truly reflect the outstanding potential of the Great Southern wine region.
