ROHE Southern Valleys Marlborough Chardonnay 2024

Description

Oak, Peach, Vanilla

"There’s no mistaking the style and power of this wine with a bouquet of barrel spices and ripe orchard fruits. Aromas of vanilla and baked goods framing a core of peach and apple with a grapefruit peel suggestion. Lots of weight and creaminess, spice and fruits on the palate set in a dry style with fine tannins and medium+ acid line. Lovely balance and length, still youthful with ageing and development potential. Best drinking from early 2026 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2025

Expressive citrus and stone fruit aromas such as melon, ripe peach and nectarine complement grapefruit, vanilla and brioche flavours on the palate. These flavours are framed with a flinty complexity and core of juicy acidity. This wine is immediately enjoyable but will continue to drink well for the next eight years.
