Philip Shaw
The Architect Chardonnay

VARIETAL: Chardonnay
REGION: Orange, NSW, Australia.
ABV%: 13.5%
FOOD PAIRING NOTES: Smoked-trout salad with mustard dressing.

PROFILE:
Fruit for The Architect comes from our younger vines planted in 1995. This Chardonnay displays an excellent light medium colour with a hint of green and an aroma that is bright with hints of honey. The Architect is not overtly fruity and its time on lees and in old barrels for around 6 months has given a subtle elegant fruit character with fine texture.

TASTING NOTES:
The Architect is pale straw yellow with a slight green tinge. The nose is complex and alluring with honeyed fruit, vibrant citrus and a touch of toast. It has a fresh palate with layers of stone fruit, savoury characteristics and creamy nuances. Bright citrusy acidity gives the wine clarity and drive.

Liquor Act:
Liquor Act 2007. It is against the law to sell or supply alcohol to, or to obtain alcohol on behalf of, a person under the age of 18 years. Lic No. LIQP770016424
