Sourced from some of the oldest Dijon-clone stock in Oregon, this mouthwatering, voluptuous Chardonnay offers layers of fleshy white peach and Meyer-lemon flavours against a perfumed, blossomy backdrop. Vinified in 50% French oak (30% new) and stainless steel, it's a bold, ample wine marked by veins of smoky minerals and finishing on lingering tones of honey and crème anglaise.

This has a beautiful nose of lemon curd, cream, sliced green apples and cardamom buns. Some toasted hazelnuts, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a deliciously creamy, gently spicy palate, married with vibrant acidity. Drink or hold.

Fresh and flinty, the 2021 Chardonnay Arthur has attractive resinous aromas of pine, green apple, and lemon-lime citrus oils. Medium-bodied, with good ripeness and a lovely carriage of fruit and fresh acidity, it has a silky texture and fantastic balance, with elegant custardy spice on the finish. A vibrant white that’s drinking great now, it can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years. - Audrey Frick
