Stoney River Gisborne Chardonnay 2024

Description

Crème brûlée, Nougat, Oak

"Delightfully fruited and elegantly lifted, the bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, nougat and a hint of flinty notes, followed by a juicy palate delivering lovely weight and creamy texture. Well rounded and balanced with a lingering tasty finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

This Chardonnay shows yellow peach with notes of tropical fruits, hints of grapefruit and a subtle crème brulée-like oak influence.
