Natural Wine Co Gisborne Organic Chardonnay 2022

Description

Butterscotch, Peach, Smoke

"Bright, even, pale yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is softly full, with moderately deep aromas of stonefruit, quince, pastry and a suggestion of cashew. Medium-bodied, dried to taste, aromas of quince melded with nectarine, cashew paste and sourdough crust. The flavours are softly mouth-filling and underlined by a light powdery grip. Fresh acidity enlivens the mouthfeel and flows with good energy to a lingering finish. This is a soft and elegant Chardonnay with a smooth flow and freshness" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews

Chardonnay that has a distinct 'struck match' aroma, smoky, flinty layers that once pushed through, give way to a ripe, rich, viscose palate packed with peach, caramelised, toasty characters, butterscotch and nutty notes on the finish. It's a complex little Chardonnay with bright acidity and a clinging, textural mouthfeel. Nice and natural.

Certified organic Chardonnay from the Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand from Geoff and Nicola Wright.
