(2025) The Old Vines Reserve comes from 30-year-old vineyards planted with the Mendoza clone of Chardonnay, and sees just a little more oak than the regular Chardonnay - but still only 35% new oak. It has a nuttiness and a little hint of honey on the nose, some buttered toast in the background and ripe and nutty apple fruit edged by lemon rind. In the mouth it marries quite substantial weight and fruit density with a lightness from the modest 13.5% alcohol and squeeze of orange and lime acidity to brighten.
