Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
IV-Mendoza is a single-clone Chardonnay from Brokenwood's Indigo Vineyard (IV) in Beechworth, made from the Mendoza clone, prized for its small "hen and chicken" berries and concentration. It is intense and textural: grapefruit, white nectarine and lemon curd with flinty, struck-match complexity, hazelnut and oatmeal from barrel work, and a long, high-acid finish. It rewards five to eight years in bottle.
