Description

  • Subtle oak
  • Ripe peach
  • Gingerbread
  • Creamy & silky

"Beautifully styled and elegantly expressed with white flesh nectarine, fresh fig, nougat, flint and hazelnut characters, it's delightfully weighted in the mouth displaying creamy texture with a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2022

An alluring bouquet of ripe peach and nectarine with lifted oak spice. The creamy palate delivers complex layers of ripe stonefruit, with lemon zest with subtle oak and a hint of gingerbread. A generous and full mid palate with a pleasant silkiness to the mouth feel and a long, lingering finish. Whalebone Chardonnay will continue to develop complexity over the next few years.

Grapes for this wine are from select vineyards in Marlborough.

Food Pairing: It is delicious on its own, or wonderfully paired with creamy risotto and fresh crusty bread.
