Arlewood Chardonnay 2021

The key in this cooler year was to select the best fruit. It might have reduced quantity but the result has been very good for those makers prepared to take a hit on volume to get quality. Comes from Forest Grove well to the south of Margaret River town. It’s a distinctly linear chardonnay displaying a combination of textural richness and fine purity. Regular battonage on yeast lees and solids contributed to the textural mouth feel. Oak has been well managed. High class chardonnay, this.
