Domaine Naturaliste Artus Chardonnay 2019 - Margaret River
Closure: Screw cap
Bottle size: 750 ml
Out of Stock
Artus is an artistic translation of our local Gin Gin clone into wine. It is a provocative, complex and textural wine exuding the seductive spirit of “old world” chardonnay.
The vines have been managed to allow only dappled light into the fruiting zone. This promotes flavor development, low tannins and bright levels of natural acidity. The fruit is farmed in the cool southern end of Margaret River. The tiny 100g Gin Gin clusters are hand harvested at first light to preserve freshness of fruit.
Flavours of fresh nectarines and candied pecan nuts are supported by aromas of poached pears and marzipan.
MATURATION
40% new 228 L medium toast French oak barriques for 10 months. The wood is primarily from the Voges and Allier forests.
Our notes
Wonderful classic Chardonnay nose that really draws you in showing brioche, warm toast, a little sizzling melted butter and grilled almonds with notes of fresh pear and stone fruits. The palate echoes the nose with similar attractive Chardonnay flavours, at once flavoursome and detailed with brisling lemony acidity adding energy, structure and finesse. Gorgeous Chardonnay! CR
