SOHO Carter Waiheke Island Chardonnay 2018

Description

"Stylish and sophisticated, this magnificently expressed Chardonnay shows ripe nectarine, rockmelon, fig, vanillin oak and roasted hazelnut characters on the nose with a touch of brioche. The palate delivers excellent weight and concentration, wonderfully enhanced by multi-layered mouthfeel and creamy texture, brilliantly structured by bright acidity. Graceful and persistent with loads of delectable and engaging flavours" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

Exquisitely composed, a stunning concentration of nectarine flesh, creamy panna cotta & roasted hazelnuts. Subtle toasty oak & fresh mineral nuances lead to a superbly long & linear finish. Tall in stature & majestic… a worthy treat for the truly devoted.

Sourced from Carter’s JOMARA vineyard, Onetangi, Waiheke Island.

Hand harvested, new oak (37%) Coopers: Alain Fouquet & François Frères.
