Odd One Out Marlborough Chardonnay 2024

Description

Custard, Oak, Vanilla

"Pristine and elegant, the wine presents aromas of cranberry, crunchy apple, and lemon peel on the nose, followed by a finely structured palate that offers a lively mouthfeel and crisp acidity. Attractively expressed with a lingering, refreshing finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025

"Aromas and flavours of peach and grapefruit, there’s a gentle creamy texture as the wine touches the palate along with a vanilla and spice quality. Dry, medium+ weight with a youthful tension, plenty of acidity and freshness. Well made with a drink now quality and style" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

This wine is crafted with grapes from carefully selected Marlborough vineyards, offering an enticing bouquet of ripe peach and nectarine, complemented by subtle oak and a hint of vanilla. The creamy palate unfolds with layers of luscious stone fruit, creamy baked custard, and a touch of vanilla bean all harmonised by subtle oak. A full, generous body delivers a lush mouthfeel and a long, lingering finish.

Who wants to be normal anyway? These wines are reflective of the joy we experience when we try something new. Each wine is crafted from a small parcel of New Zealand grapes, and harnessed to create a vibrant and enticing drop, with no vintage ever the same.

Food Pairing: This Chardonnay will continue to develop complexity over the coming years. Enjoy it on its own or paired with a creamy risotto and fresh, crusty bread.
