Edwin Fox Reserve Marlborough Chardonnay 2022

Description

• Subtle oak
• Lemon & nectarine
• Biscuit & caramel
• Full-bodied

"It's elegantly expressed on the nose with ripe apricot, rockmelon, oatmeal and nougat notes. The medium-bodied palate delivers rounded mouthfeel and creamy texture, finishing long and smooth. Fruit forward and delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023

An elegant Chardonnay with aromas of nectarine and lemon peel with a hint of mixed nuts. A full bodied style, displaying ripe stone fruit with layers of biscuit and caramel and a long layered finish. Fruit driven with a hint of underlying oak.

Harvested from some of the highest performing vineyards across the Marlborough region. Perfect for drinking immediately this Chardonnay will be at its best over the next two to three years.

The Edwin Fox is a Historic East Indiaman Style Ship built in Bengal in 1853. She is the 9th oldest ship afloat in the world today and the last surviving wooden immigrant ship to New Zealand. She now resides on the Picton foreshore at the gateway to the picturesque Marlborough Sounds.

Food Pairing: An easy drinking wine that will compliment a creamy Parmesan Risotto.
