Chardonnay from New Zealand - Central Otago & Waitaki
Review Date : 28-Oct-2025
Bright, even, pale straw yellow. The nose is gentle, complex, with aromas of apple, citrus, vanilla, pastry and roasted nuts. Full-bodied, aromas of ripe lemon and baked apple entwined with vanilla, almond Danish and delicate spice. The wine features a creamy, buttery mouthfeel, along with integrated fruit and toasty elements. A balanced and fine line fo acidity lingers to an extended finish. A harmonious Chardonnay with enticing features. Match with butter-poached crayfish and roasted chicken over the next 8+ years. Fruit from Bendigo and Cromwell, a barrel selection. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, wild yeasts fermented in oak barrels, aged on lees for 16 months. 12.9% alc. Vegan friendly. 19/20 pts (95 pts) Oct 2025 RRP $56
