Description
- Oaked
- Stone fruit
- Grapefruit
- Sweet acidity
"A completely enticing bouquet of wild white flowers and fresh white fleshed stone fruits, some sweet grapefruit and moments of red apple. There's a distinctive scents package of mineral and earth as well as a wild ferment and lees quality. Lovely generosity as the wine touches the palate, also youthful with a seam of ripe almost sweet acidity. Flavours mirror the bouquet led by citrus then apple, softer raw sugar sweet barrel notes and a chalky mineral texture that fills the palate nicely. An excellent example, youthful and well made. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2027+. An excellent wine with value pricing" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2023
"Appealing, accesible Chardonnay with an initial hint of fruit and alcohol sweetness leading to nicely integrated acidity that helps drive a lengthy finish. A mix of subtle mineral and citrus flavours. Great value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jun 2023
Chardonnay offers the winemaker many choices. One thing is for sure - Chardonnay is a wonderful drink and Tiritiri embodies this. Classic but not old fashioned. This morish Chardonnay walks a tightrope of fruit, minerality, oak and acidity. There's a beautiful purity to this wine, it offers a certain stillness. Summer fruits are woven together with rockpool minerality. This Tiritiri Chardonnay truly impresses with its delicate integration of oak. The use of barriques frame the wine gently, without demanding attention. There is beautiful shape to this wine, its voluminous without being overblown. What may be taken to be a rather lush palate on entry, tapers to a refreshing and modern finish.
Food Pairing: Chardonnay in this form is destined for seafood. We say it a lot , but the truth is, wines like these speak of where they come from and with the abundance of Tasman Bay on our doorstep it is hard to imagine a gently chilled glass of Tiritiri Chardonnay without the "catch of the day" no matter where you are in the world.
