Description
Isabel Estate Aratoro Chardonnay 2021 is a masterfully crafted wine that captures the essence of its terroir and the meticulous care of its production. Hailing from some of the oldest vines on the estate, this Chardonnay showcases the Mendoza clone, known for its naturally low yields and exceptional fruit concentration. The result is a bold and intricate wine that reveals a captivating array of flavors.
On the nose, expect nuances of smoky gunflint, ripe white peach, and succulent nectarine, beautifully complemented by zesty lemon and a touch of salty lime. The palate unfolds with rich flavors of roasted almond and brioche, seamlessly intertwined with a delicate essence of grapefruit that adds depth and liveliness. Its mineral character speaks to the unique terroir, while a fine, persistent acidity provides structure and a promise of excellent ageing potential. After a thoughtful 12 months in French oak barrels, the wine presents a vibrant energy and an enduring finish, epitomizing elegance and longevity. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for years to come, this Chardonnay is a true expression of craftsmanship and heritage.
