The name La Strada literally means The Road, symbolically it represents the connection of old world winemaking. La Strada is Fromm winery’s second label which consists of a range of premium wines, ready for drinking upon release with short to medium term cellaring potential.
A ripe and generous Chardonnay underpinned by a core of minerality. 100% old vine Mendoza clone, hand-picked, then crushed and presses into Burgundy oak barrels for wild yeast fermentation until dry, before being matured in barrel for 12 months during which time the wine underwent full malolactic fermentation.
The first impression is of ripe fruit hinting at preserved lemons, white nectarines and candied grapefruit. The nose then unfolds into savoury elements of bakers’ yeast, toasted brioche and chalky minerals. The palate is full with good fruit weight, cleansing acidity and a focussed structure that sees the wine linger between sips. This 2016 gracefully walks the tight rope between generosity and elegance. Certified organic.
A ripe, generous wine, the 2016 La Strada Chardonnay is made from the Mendoza clone. Aromas of buttered nuts mark the nose, while the attractive peach and pineapple notes are assertive on the palate and linger elegantly on the finish. Drink this lush, medium to full-bodied Chardonnay over thenext few years.
