2023 Arterberry Maresh 'Maresh Vineyard' Chardonnay, Dundee Hills, USA (750ml) Vino da Tavola star anise and tobacco alongsideWINEMAKER'S NOTES: Vervain tea, poached pear, white flowers and marine air. Pretty, classic and expressive. Silky cherimoya and slate with crystalline purity. TASTING NOTES: The 2023 Chardonnay Maresh Vineyard seduces with a burst of crushed flint stones, dusty sage, nectarine and gingery spice. Its textures are otherworldly, nearly oily yet sleek, with a sour citrus nervousness that excites the palate as opulently ripe apricot settles of the senses.
