Description
- American & French oak
- Peaches & cream
- Subtle vanilla pod
- Lingering finish
"This is gorgeously expressed on the nose, showing mango, white flesh nectarine, vanilla and toasty oak aromas with a hint of butterscotch. The palate offers layers of creamy texture and delicious flavours, wonderfully framed by finely pitched acidity, finishing lingering and satisfying. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2024
"Bright, even, pale yellow with some depth. This has a rich bouquet, with aromas of flint, toast and nut overlying stonefruit and citrus. Medium-full bodied, aromas of grapefruit, lemon and nectarine melded with a gentle portion of flint, toast and nutty elements. The lightly creamy mouthfeel provides weight and balance to the toasty component. Lively acidity flows with ease to a refreshing yet toasty finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Apr 2025
Well defined aromas of melon, nectarine, and a subtle vanilla pod, this Chardonnay displays a bright and elegant palate of peaches and cream with delicious spice lingering on the finish.
Our 2023 Vintage W5 Chardonnay was sourced from vineyards within Dillons Point and Rapaura sub areas of Marlborough. The fruit was monitored consistently throughout the growing season and machine harvested once the grapes reached optimum ripeness.
At the winery, each parcel was fermented separately in a combination of seasoned French and American Barriques. The wine was then aged on lees for a period of nine months, adding complexity and body. At this stage, the wine underwent a second fermentation, crafting an elegant, delectable mouthfeel.

Thank you, the price helps me in this case. I had a glass at the Prawn Farm in Taupo. Loved it. Then i looked it up and the price was right. Thank you, Black Market. Cheers Neil

The first one went very well with the seafood risotto. I'm sure the next 11 will find a match.

Probably the best value W5 chardonnay to have been offered to date. It's not a big wine compared to some earlier versions but quite sophisticated, well-balanced on the palate and with decent length. Great at this price point.

This is a nice wine at a great price. We are finding the marlborough chardonnays to be as good as those from other regions and easy to partake.
