Misty Cove Fifth Innings Marlborough Chardonnay 2019

Description

• Toasty oak
• Ripe fruit
• Vanilla
• Brioche & toasted hazelnut

"This is magnificently composed and expressed, showing apricot, rockmelon, vanilla pod, brioche and roasted hazelnut characters on the nose. It's equally gratifying on the palate, exhibiting outstanding weight and richness, while remaining balanced and harmonious. Splendidly delicious. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Golden and vibrant in the glass, the wine is full bodied with great texture and weight from the ripe fruit and beautifully supported by the use of toasty oak. Dry and finishing long this well balanced and attractive wine combines the best of ripe Marlborough fruit with complexity and weight from the barrel.

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed directly to 100% new French barrique and aged for 10 months.

The Misty Cove Fifth Innings is made from low cropping vines from Misty Cove's Flagship Fareham Lane Vineyard. Produced using only traditional methods with minimal winemaking input. The wine is unfined and unfiltered to capture the true essence of the lovely Chardonnay grape and the environment.
