The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity with creamy texture and wellpitched acidity, finishing generous and delicious. At its best: now to 2026\" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour was pale straw in the glass at bottling, but will slowly deepen with time. Bouquet features stonefruit and melon backed by vanilla oak and a buttered popcorn character from the MLF. The 2022 Big \u0026amp; Buttery is big, rich and weighty, yet has elegance and finesse. The 2022 Big \u0026amp; Buttery is already approachable, but will cellar happily into the medium term in a cool environment. A big, rich, and weighty wine with elegance and finesse, featuring stone fruit, vanilla oak, and a buttered popcorn character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2022 we again used Doug Bell’s Clone 548 Chardonnay to craft the Big and Buttery. This is a drygrown block in their vineyard on Back Ormond Road, just out of the city of Gisborne. The wine was fermented in French oak barrels. Once the primary fermentation was finished, all of the barrels were left to undergo spontaneous secondary malolactic fermentation. This imbues the wine with buttery notes. The wine spent 9 months in barrel before being fined, filtered, and bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: The oak ageing makes this wine an excellent match with full flavoured rich dishes, in particular poultry, pork, salmon and crayfish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ToiToi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50362473677117,"sku":"","price":143.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/CoopersCreekSingleVineyardGisborneBig_ButteryChardonnayNV.jpg?v=1748235524","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/coopers-creek-single-vineyard-gisborne-big-buttery-chardonnay-2022","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
