Sourced predominantly from vineyards in the middle Wairau valley 2016 Ara Single Estate Chardonnay was matured in the barrel for 11 months prior to barrel selection and blending. The wine was held cool on light lees in tank for further seven months for greater complexity.
A traditional style Chardonnay showing rich, generous fruit with a creamy character and clean lees complexity. Enticing toasty lees flavour with a oatmeal influence. Mid-palate texture is supported by a focused, persistant finish.
Have it with grilled chicken, with lemon and thyme, and roasted seasonal vegetables.
Restrained, tangy chardonnay with grapefruit, mineral, struck flint and brioche flavours. A crisp yet balanced wine that needs to turn up the volume slightly. Offers value at this price 08 MAY 2019
