Escarpment Martinborough Chardonnay 2023
A wine that is built around elegance & restraint
A wine that is built around elegance & restraint
Description
- French oak
- White peach
- Brioche & Spice
- Elegant & complex
Citrus, jasmine, and white peach are apparent on the nose, with undertones of gunflint and spice. The palate is focused and streamlined, with notes of lemon curd and brioche, with a core of concentrated fruit built around a seam of natural acidity giving freshness. Partial malolactic fermentation and barrel maturation help to give the wine both breadth and length, along with added complexity. It is a wine that is built around elegance and restraint, offering focus and persistence but also capturing the district’s unique terroir. It will evolve in bottle over the next 5 to 7 years.
Sourced primarily from the Home Block on Te una Road on the Martinborough Terrace. A Chardonnay of distinction and complexity with stricking minerality and a typical varietal character reminiscent ofits terroir and Escarpment's winemaking philosophy.
Food Pairing: Serve as an accompaniment to soft, creamy cheeses, halibut, or rich chicken dishes. Serve at 12-13°C.
