2014 Vina Cobos Bramare Marchiori Vineyard Chardonnay

Sourced from 17 year old vines at the Marchiori vineyard, occupying a semi-desert climate at the foot of the Andes Mountains (3264 feet). Yields were a lowly 1.78 tons per acre and the wine spent 17 months in French oak, 48% of which was new and the balance second use.

A powerful, richly textured Chardonnay

Brilliant straw colour with a touch of green around the edges and a watery hue. Intense aromatics of ripe peaches, honeycomb and nougat arise from the glass followed by cashew, toasty oak and spice. Rich and full bodied the wine has a creamy viscous feel that coats the palate with flavours of honeycomb, ripe peaches, nougat, cashew, toasty oak and a lick of spicy butterscotch. Rich buttery texture with sufficient acidity to keep everything balanced. Long conclusion of honeycomb, butterscotch, nougat, cashew and spicy oak.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
