Jules Taylor Marlborough Chardonnay 2019

Description

• French oak
• Baked pastries
• Ripe stone fruit
• Toasty characters

Straw yellow colour in the glass. The aroma offers an abundance of ripe stonefruits and citrus. These fresh notes are complimented with creamy layers from the wild and malolactic ferments. Memories of baked pastries and toasted nuts come to mind. A deliciously smooth yet juicy palate with flavours of stonefruits intertwined with the creamy and toasty characters. A wine with veiled complexity and richness but with a refreshing finish.

The partial wild and malolactic fermentations along with the extended lees maturation in barrel have added complexity and texture to the wine. The palate is smooth and round with lovely balance of minerality and well refined acid. Juicy stonefruit & citrus flavours are combined with mealy, creamy layers and subtle hints of French oak.
