[SOLD-OUT] Domaine Naturaliste Artus Chardonnay 2021

 

CREME BRULEE AND POACHED PEAR FLAVOURS MAKE THIS TEXTURAL CHARDONNAY DELICIOUSLY UNIQUE 

 

"Artus is an artistic translation of our local Gin Gin clone into wine. Flavours of fresh nectarines and candied pecan nuts are supported by aromas of poached pears and marzipan.

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. 

Harvested 6^th March 2021 – hand picked whole bunch pressed – wild yeasts full Malo-lactic fermentation – aged in 40% new 228ltr medium toast Vosges and Allier for 10 months" - Domaine Naturaliste

 

"Nashi pear, peach, cinnamon and clove, honey and fennel, cheese rind. It’s powerful, a little buttery and spicy, but tight in citrus acidity, with a grainy grip, green mango and melon, spicy and powerful on a long finish. All the things. Excellent." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front
