Description
"The plate is juicy and smooth"
"88pts... Well priced and flavoursome, this attractive chardonnay is filled with nectarine, rockmelon and citrus characters with subtle vanilla complexity. The plate is juicy and smooth, and shows lovely fruit intensity and softness. Very approachable and easy on the palate. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2015.
Grapes for this wine are from select vineyards in the Marlborough Valley. Bursting with lively citrus and white peach aromas with a touch of well integrated spicy oak.
The palate delivers loads of lemon, apricots and white peach, creamy texture and fine acidity. Medium bodied, it has a pleasant silkiness to the mouth feel and has a persistent, lingering finish.
Whalebone Chardonnay will continue to develop in bottle for a further 2-4 years from harvest. It is delicious on its own, or a wonderfully paired with mussel chowder, whole baked fish or creamy chicken casserole.

Because of health reasons, my wife reacts to strong oaked wines. On the recommendation of the wine maker we tried this wine and found it real enjoyable
