Description
"Mellow, toasty Chardonnay with mineral, citrus, ginger nut biscuit and hazelnut flavours. Nicely structured with a silken texture and lengthy finish. Stylish wine with a distinctive character of its own" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2015
"'Very interesting lean, mealy layers on the nose, smoke, grapefruit pith on the palate – there’s a grain-spirit, sake-like character that I really like', said Yvonne. 'A big, fat, old-school, generous example that’s in good condition, developing nicely and is very drinkable' added Jo. Buttered toast, coriander seed and cinnamon notes all added to the delicious complexity of this ageing beauty" Cuisine Magazine, Top 10 New ZealandChardonnay Tasting, 2015
Fruit for this Nystery Chardonnay was sourced from three of this Mystery vineyard's sites, including clone 15 from the Brancott Valley with its crushed stone and older clay soil (45%), clone 95 from the Gibson Creek, where the soils are stony alluvial (40%) and finally Mendoza clone from a sandy Wairau Valley site 15%. This combination of Wairau Valley’s stony souls, together with Marlborough’s long ripening period enhance this Chardonnay’s classic late summer fruit flavours and fine natural acidity. Aromas of lemon, peach, oat biscuit, toffe apple , toasted almonds, freshly ground spice and subtle nutty oak lead to a rich, weighty palate balanced with a seamless acidity, ensuring longevity.
