All wine undergoes numerous, and quite often, extraordinary changes.
All great wine is in a constant state of evolution, sometimes from day to day or decade to decade.
As time passes and depending under what conditions a bottle is shipped, stored and served the contents can exhibit an amazing range of different characters. The capacity for change and in many cases, improvement from glass to glass, from occasion to occasion, is a principle reason why wine holds so much interest, mystery and excitement for so many. Upon immediate release, d Arenberg s The Olive Grove McLaren Vale Chardonnay is a slightly green, brilliant mid-straw colour and typically exhibits extraordinary fresh and lifted melon complex fig and cashew aromas. These are based on smells of apples, limes and pineapples. Vanillin yeast autolysis smells give creamy and bready hints.
