Description

  • Seasoned oak
  • Ripe stone fruit
  • Nougat & biscuits
  • Lingering finish

"Beautifully rounded and smooth, the wine is attractively fruited with ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, nougat and cashew notes, combined with creamy texture and refreshing acidity, offering delightful drinking. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2022

Juicy aromas of ripe white peach, rockmelon and a hint freshly baked biscuits. A creamy texture with delicious layered flavours of ripe stone fruit, fig and nougat. Lovely soft acidity, well integrated oak spice and a smooth, lingering finish. This wine will cellar well for the next few years but is also perfect for drinking immediately.

Fruit for this Bishop's Leap Chardonnay is from a selection of immaculately tended vineyards throughout Marlborough. Partial fermentation in oak and malolactic fermentation was carried out to enhance the flavours and fill the palate. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 9 months in stainless steel tanks and seasoned oak and lightly fined.

Food Pairing: Ideal with a creamy mushroom risotto.
