Description

"91pts... The palate is beautifully weighted and flavoursome, and offers plenty of ripe fruit notes backed by well-pitched acidity, finishing long and creamy. Superb value for money.

"91pts... This is beautifully expressed, the inviting bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, mango and rockmelon characters with elegant vanilla and cedar complexity. The palate is beautifully weighted and flavoursome, and offers plenty of ripe fruit notes backed by well-pitched acidity, finishing long and creamy. Superb value for money. At its best: now to 2018. "Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2016

Fruit for this wine was sourced from several vineyards in the foothills of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough.

A fruit driven chardonnay with complex flavours of ripe stone fruit combine with a hint of toasted hazelnut and caramel. The palate is rich, generous and complex with an elegant structure and refined finish. The lengthy palate offers flavours of stone fruit, hazelnut, fig and subtle spice.

The majority of this Faultline Reserve Chardonnay was barrel fermented in a mixture of French and American oak. This wine went through malolactic fermentation which helps to soften the acidity and gives fullness on the palate.

A great wine for drinking immediately, or with careful cellaring of up to five years from vintage date this Chardonnay will develop into a fuller, more complex wine.

An ideal match with scallops, cream-based pasta dishes or roast chicken.

Excellent everyday drinking. Nose leads you to expect a more full bodied wine than the taste yields. A little light but still good value.

An easy drinking Chardonnay, probably better pre dinner than with a tasty meal.

Being a reserve I was hoping for a little better.
