Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Chardonnay 2016

Description

Juicy peach and citrus flavours with toasted hazelnut and a hint of vanilla. Drinking well now and will continue to develop complexity over the next few years. Fresh nectarine, toasted nuts and fig.

Fruit was selected from several vineyards across the Marlborough region with a variety of different clones. This careful selection of fruit contributes to the complexity of the wine. The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness and fermented in seasoned oak or stainless steel tanks. Each parcel went through malolactic fermentation to soften and round out the palate. After several months lees aging post fermentation, each parcel was assessed and selected for this final wine.
