Chard Farm Closeburn Central Otago Chardonnay 2023

Description

Apricot, Floral, Unoaked

A complex bouquet of green apple and white stone fruits, beautifully wrapped in wafting aromas of white flowers and dried herbs. Energetic and fresh fruited with a creamy edge, the palate carries yellow citrus, nectarine, and pineapple notes. There is plenty of vibrancy and drive through the palate to the lingering finish edged with mild saline notes.

Closeburn is our non-oaked Chardonnay. The fruit is grown throughout the Central Otago region and exhibits the regions natural elegant fruit flavours and mineral complexity. The wine is fermented in tank to retain its bright fruit. It is then left to rest on its yeast lees to gain some doughy complexity and softness. This is a refreshing full-bodied wine, unencumbered by oak and superb with food.
