Artan Reserve Chardonnay 2018 South Australia $83.88 for 12 bottles (Save $216)

TESTING NOTES A line of minerality with tropical fruits persisting on the mid palate, framed by oak, or perhaps fermentation complexity that exhibits as roasted nuts.   VINTAGE CONDITIONS A long, even growing season with occasional heat spikes gave richness to the resulting wines without losing elegance. The warm daytime temperatures and lack of rainfall produced a vintage that allowed our winemakers and viticulturalists to pick fruit at the optimum flavour ripeness.
