Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Marlborough Chardonnay 2020

Description

• Oak spice
• White nectarine
• Creamy nougat
• Generous & full

Pale straw in colour. Bright aromas of white nectarine and peach with lifted oak spice. Complex layers of fresh stone fruit are interlaced with subtle oak and creamy nougat. A generous and full mid-palate with a hint of spice lingering on the finish.

Fruit was selected from several vineyards across the Marlborough region with a variety of different clones. This careful selection of fruit contributes to the com-plexity of the wine.

The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness and fermented in seasoned oak or stainless steel tanks. Each parcel went through malolactic fer-mentation to soften and round out the palate. After several months lees aging post fermentation, each parcel was assessed and selected for this final wine.

Food Pairing: Perfectly matched with succulent poached chicken and seasonal vegetables.
