Mystery Marlborough Chardonnay 2022 (04)

Description

Lemon, Oak, Pastry

"Elegant and complex at once, the wine shows ripe peach, lemon peel, subtle vanilla and assorted nut aromas on the nose, followed by a beautifully flowing palate that's succulent and creamy. Stylish and poised with a lengthy delectable finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2024

"There’s an old-world theme to this wine with a bouquet of flowers and mineral then white fleshed fruits and some apple-peach qualities. Flinty, crisp and dry as the wine touches the palate, spice and mineral then apple, lemon and white peach flavours laced with lees complexity and texture. Plenty of acidity, a whisper of salinity and a moderate+ finish. Delicious, fresh and dry with best drinking from 2024 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2023

"Handpicked, pressed direct to barrel, feral ferment, Marlborough Chardonnay, flint, funk and lime; a coiled spring with richness and freaky talent" Winemaker

Pale yellow straw colour in the glass. Aromas of spice, saline, lemon curd with subtle funk. Lime and brioche flavours with savoury notes on a textured palate.

Food Pairing: Crayfish bisque and paua raviolo.
