The 2023 Chardonnay Arthur is scented of yellow apple, white peach, beeswax, hazelnuts and seamlessly integrated oak spice. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and expansive with concentrated, savory flavors. It’s balanced by bright acidity and has a long, energetic finish. 3,232 cases were made.

Elegantly structured, rich and refined, with polished apple, lemongrass and spice flavors that build tension on the sleek finish.

Nicely broad and rich in texture, ample and welcoming, with baked apple, cinnamon, light butter and vanilla flavors. Easy and rather soft, with gentle acidity and good length in the finish. Drink now.

The 2023 Chardonnay Arthur is a bright straw/yellow hue and is particularly lovely in this vintage, with elegant notes of poached apples, hints of butterscotch, and orange blossoms coming through on the palate, complemented by fresh flowers and lemon sherbet. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a balanced decadence and elegant length. It’s a highly appealing wine.

From the Dundee Hills site, Arthur is flashy and opulent with aromatics of poached pear, nutmeg-spiced apples and honeysuckle blossom. The palate is rounded and ripe with sweet pineapple, bruised apples and creamy notes of pear custard.

The 2023 Chardonnay Arthur is decidedly savory, mixing crushed rocks and nuances of iodine with freshly sliced green apples. It is round and soothingly pliant in feel, showcasing ripe pit fruits elevated by chamomile. The finish leaves a gentle saline concentration and a hint of lemon sorbet, tapering off with medium length.
