- Ripe stonefruit
- Vanilla & lemon
- Silky texture
"Fans of highly oaked, massively creamy styles will want to get in line to get their mitts on this new release from the folk at Delta. I love the creme caramel intensity in this wine from whoa to go, yet the acidity is perky-fresh and accentuates the tropical tones beautifully. Dangerously drinkable" Yvonne Lorkin
"It's gorgeously expressed on the nose showing ripe peach, fig, vanillin oak and subtle spice notes, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering smooth mouthfeel and silky texture. Upfront and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2021
Pale golden in colour. Aromas of ripe fig, lemon zest and vanilla pod. Fresh fig and ripe stone fruits form a fruity palate, balanced with subtle vanilla spice and caramel on the finish.
These select Chardonnay grapes were sourced from Marlborough's Lower Wairau Valley.
The 2020 vintage started with cool spring weather, which extended the length of flowering, leading to open bunches with reduced potential disease pressure during early autumn rains. Lower crop levels led to increased intensity of flavours within the grapes. Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, this fruit was continually monitored until the right balance of flavour and physiological ripeness was attained. The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the night.
Once transported to the winery, the grapes were pressed, lightly settled and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. The natural stone fruit flavours were maintained, and secondary characteristics such as panna cotta, caramel and vanilla spice developed with malolactic fermentation, regular lees stirring and maturation in oak, before lighting fining and filtering.
Food Pairing: An ideal wine to enjoy with pan seared white fish and creamy potato bake.

Love this! As this is my first purchase with Black Market, please can you clarify that I can purchase 6 different bottles rather than 6 the same?
Helen - 25/10/2022
Powerful and oaky..just the way I like it. It will probably be even better next year. Incredible value. I have already repurchased.
Julie - 14/10/2022
It was for a gift and she adored it.

Really enjoying this Chardonnay, thank you

I really enjoyed Delta wine... I used to purchase from New World Remuera & was offered the same old wineries/wine so it’s refreshing for me to choose something different friends m a bigger range.

Elaine - 22/07/2022
This is an absolutely fabulous chardonnay. Packed with amazing butterscotch and multiple fruit flavour! Just ordered another case - highly, highly recommend :) We had a great time analyzing the flavours.

It is a beautiful wine that to me was well balanced and at $13 per bottle it was well worth it.

Just opened my first bottle. Tastes good
Chris - 26/01/2022
Very nice chardonnay, great drinking with food.
Greg - 26/12/2021
Positive use of oak and MLF but overall a bit mean and skinny. Could benefit from an improved level of fruit ripeness / concentration.
Matthew - 21/10/2022
Good quaffing wine
Jocelyn - 18/08/2022
An ok chardonnay for the delivered price. It has a fairly high acidity so I will see how it develops over the next 6 months or so
john - 23/07/2022
A little salty, prefer a softer buttery taste. Still nice though!
