The finish is long and satisfying

it opens with a reductive funk that eventually blows off with air

promising a journey of refinement with every sip

2016 Helen & Joey Estate 'Alena' Chardonnay 750ml Bourgogne Cotes d'Auxerre It is then carefully nurturedThe Alena Chardonnay abides by our driving force of power, strength and elegance. The oak is initially evident on the nose with aromas of vanilla and clove. The wine has a distinct minerality on both the nose and the palate which is supported by the lemon pith, nectarine and just ripe pear flavours. The wine is elegant and fine with a long, mouth watering finish. Dual Trophy Winner Victorian Wine Show 2017. Best Chardonnay Best White Wine
