Gardo & Morris Reserve Organic Marlborough Chardonnay 2021

Description

Apricot, Oak, Pastry

"Splendidly fruited and gorgeously complex, the wine shows ripe stone fruit, nougat, cedar and brioche characters on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and richness, while remaining harmonious and structured with a sustained engaging finish. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2023

"Bright, even, pale yellow gold with some depth. The nose is gently full, with stonefruit, citrus, vanilla, toasty oak and flint aromas. Full-bodied, aromas of nectarine and apricot melded with lemon, grapefruit, flint, roasted hazelnut and pastry. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, and zingy acidity enlivens and carries a sustained finish. This Chardonnay is elegantly presented with a voluminous body and weight; bright fruit and acidity inject liveliness to a toasty, rich palate." Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Nov 2023

Yellow-gold with depth, ripe fruit of nectarine, peach interweave grapefruit and zest and yeasty autolysis characters supported by balanced acidity. Creamy and smooth, butterscotch, ripe stonefruit and citrus aromas.

Food Pairing: Served at 8-10 C and match with roasted chicken and grilled fish.
