Chardonnay from New Zealand - Marlborough
Review Date : 17-Aug-2026
Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is gently full, with aromas of ripe stonefruit, melon, vanilla and roasted nuts. Medium-full bodied, with aromas of nectarine and peach intermixed with melon, vanilla, and nutty, caramel notes. This Chardonnay is appealing with bright fruit and integrated caramel and warm toastiness. Lively acidity provides engaging fluidity. Match with roasted chicken and grilled cheese sandwich over the next 3 years. Fermented to 13% alc. 18+/20 pts (91 pts) Aug 2026 RRP $22.50
