Description
"Wonderfully fruited and fabulously aromatic, the bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, vanilla, cedar and nougat characters, leading to a concentrated palate that is succulent and fleshy. The wine offers excellent fruit intensity together with stylish oak infusion and creamy texture, finishing long and delicious. Superbly priced and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2017.
Fruit for this wine was sourced from several vineyards in the foothills of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough.
A fruit driven chardonnay with complex flavours of ripe stone fruit combine with a hint of toasted hazelnut. The palate is rich, generous and complex with an elegant structure and refined finish. The lengthy palate offers flavours of stone fruit, rockmelon and warm spice.
The majority of this Faultline Reserve Chardonnay was barrel fermented in seasoned oak. This wine went through malolactic fermentation which helps to soften the acidity and gives fullness on the palate.
A great wine for drinking immediately, or with careful cellaring of up to five years from vintage date this Chardonnay will develop into a fuller, more complex wine.
Food Pairing: An ideal match with scallops, oysters, or creamy chicken casserole.

Absolutely magnificent wine. I have purchased Chardonnay at 3 times the price and still not as good as this.
