Garagiste Cotier Chardonnay 2016
From Garagiste’s Merricks Grove vineyard; vines planted in red volcanic and brown loam soil; 100% whole-bunch fermentation for 18 days; maturation in old oak for 9 months; bottled unfined and with only minimal sulphur. This offers a richer and more seductive nose with complex and deep notes of ripe apple, roasted nuts and nutmeg. In the mouth the wine is driven, fleshy, finely structured and delicious. There’s an excellent balance between flesh and grip. There are lots of layers and flavours that remind me of pear, ripe apple and brown spices.
