Arlewood Chardonnay 2017

From the Arlewood Estate, 100% Mendoza clone Chardonnay. Matured in French barriques, 30% new and 70% second use. A mineral accent, fine citric acidity, and compelling fruit weight. Whole bunch pressing and restrained oak handling gives the wine a framework that adds structure and complexity. Fine and long, the palate is elegant yet weighty with leesy characters, vibrant lime fruit, rich phenolics and considerable length.
