Chateau Pato 'Chardonnay' 2017
Nick Paterson is making stellar wine in tiny quantities at Chateau Pato. The 2017 Chardonnay is a beautifully rich and textural wine, but still with plenty of freshness. Plenty of citrus and grapefruit, supported by a wonderfully oaky frame. The wine was fermented in 2 and 3 year-old large format French oak. Great acidity and minerality to finish. Delicious, top-flight Hunter Chardonnay!
The fruit was sourced from two different vineyard sites. One on dark alluvial soil in Pokolbin and the other from a sloping sand-based site in Broke.
