This wine just makes me smile.
Stylish, expressive and confident - this single vineyard Mendoza clone Chardonnay delivers a real punch of concentration. Ripe yellow plum, peach and citrus zest aromatics, layered with meadow flowers, toasty spice and a flicker of flint. The palate is bold and encompassing, but not heavy. Chalky, silky, and electric, with a mineral charge, golden citrus acidity, and long-lasting buttered-popcorn, toasted vanilla and spice flavours. A concentrated and extra classy Chardonnay with some serious bones. Ideally, give it a couple more years and let it properly show its hand. Stunning.
