Skouras Armyra Chardonnay Malagousia

This Chardonnay Malagousia blend is made from 95% Chardonnay and 5% Malagouzia, grown at 200 feet altitude. 70% was fermented in stainless steel vats, while 30% underwent 6 months of fermentation and aging in new French barriques. Short skin contact and full malolactic fermentation in barriques along with batonnage give this blend its unique flavor. The color is green-yellow with a few greenish tints. On the nose, you will find aromas of ripe peach, pineapple, and lemon. Followed by notes of butter, bread, and caramel. The palate is full and smooth, highlighting the same flavor notes as noted on the nose, followed by a crisp acidity. The finish is long, complex, and ever-evolving.
