Description
"Impressive grapefruit and lime pith, ahead of yellow nectarine and neat oak influence. This is well made. The palate has a very focused and strikingly refined shape and is gently mealy with a long and pithy grapefruit finish. Drink now. Screw cap" James Suckling, Nov 2017
100% grown from Escarpment’s Te Muna Road site in what can be considered a perfect, warm dry season. The summer allowed a smaller crop than usual to ripen slowly, producing powerful opulent flavours and a flinty mineral backbone which combine beautifully with barrel fermentation to create Burgundian inspired Chardonnay. Flavours are reminiscent of white stone fruit with delightful soft texture ensuring a long commanding finish. It is an accurate reflection of Martinborough’s unique terroir. Cellar for up to five years or more successfully .
Food Pairing: Partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring has enhanced the texture, complexity and mouth feel allowing it to match most entrée dishes and seafood.
