Collaboration Wines Impression White (chardonnay) 2017 $27

Crafted by Julianne Brogden from 100% Mendoza-clone fruit sourced near Havelock North, this is one chardonnay that has elegance written all over it.  The oak maturation regime meant subtle handling in older French oak for just 8 months, allowing the delicate white stonefruit to be the hero.  Laced with a lick of light toast and showing a creamy layer from 100% malolactic fermentation, this is a seriously stylish, statuesque something to sip.
