[SOLD-OUT] Henschke Archers Chardonnay 2016

"Pale straw in colour with golden hues. Stunning, fragrant aromas of melon, grapefruit and white peach and delicate notes of pear skin and clove are complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and cashew. The juicy citrus and melon palate is richly textured, forming a creamy, luscious mouthfeel, and building in complexity for a rich and lingering finish.

 

The Archer’s chardonnay vineyard, planted in the mid-1980s, has been named as a tribute to Alan and Mary Archer and is located high in the central cool-climate Adelaide Hills.  The ancient well-drained sandy loam soils derived from a sedimentary shale bedrock ensure naturally low-yielding vines and concentrated fruit flavours. All fruit is handpicked from individual blocks and fermented separately and lees aged in oak barrels. The cool-climate Adelaide Hills provides purity of fruit, beautiful acidity, length of flavour and great ageing potential."
