Cellar Note Marlborough Chardonnay 2021

Description

• Toasty oak
• Nectarine
• Brioche & hazlenut
• Succulent

"It's immediately appealing on the nose with ripe stone fruit, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and subtle spice aromas, followed by an elegantly flavoursome palate displaying soothing mouthfeel and creamy texture. Beautifully rounded and lingering with a delectable silky finish. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2023

This 2021 Chardonnay is classically varietal with complex aromas of nectarine, peach, and toasted hazelnut. The palate is round and full, with succulent layers of nectarine, brioche, and toasty oak flavours.

Grapes sourced from the renowned Awatere valley within the Marlborough region. Grapes for this wine were machine harvested, pressed, and only briefly settled before being fermented and aged in 56% barriques for 7 months, enhancing the elegant vanilla and hazelnut characteristics of this wine.

Food Pairing: The elegant structure of this wine makes for a perfect pairing with crispy skinned chicken drumsticks and homemade slaw.
