Jarvis Chardonnay 2017

The Jarvis 2017 Estate Chardonnay presents a delicate golden, straw-like color. Layers of brioche and honey commingle with vibrant pineapple and mango in the glass. There is a richness to the wine as a result of spending 12 months in new Burgundy French oak barrels with sur-lie aging. This regimen gives the wine subtle notes of toasted wood and vanillian which complement the tropical aromatics. On the palate you will find it to be refreshing and crisp, as well as being simultaneously voluptuous on the finish to the very end.

The 2017 Chardonnay sings of ripe Bosc pears, white peaches and pink grapefruit with touches of almond croissant and lime blossoms. Medium-bodied, the palate reveals a pleasant oiliness to the texture and oodles of freshness lifting the ripe peach and pear flavors to a long finish.
