Chardonnay from New Zealand - Marlborough
Review Date : 12-Aug-2026
Bright, even, pale yellow with some depth. The nose is fresh, with aromas of peach, nectarine, lemon and roasted almonds. Medium-bodied, aromas of peach and nectarine, melded with lemon peels and roasted almonds. The fruit is forward and juicy, complexed by toasty oak and nutty notes, and lively acidity provides a free-flowing palate and a moreish finish. An amiable, forward Chardonnay with good balance and flavours. Match with rotisserie chicken and ham sandwich over the next 3 years. Fermented in barrels to 13.5% alc, 28% new oak. Vegan friendly. 18/20 pts (90 pts) Aug 2026 RRP $25
