Te Whare Ra Single Vineyard Marlborough Chardonnay 2020

Description

Hazelnut, Lemon, Oak

"Immensely complex and enticing, the wine shows ripe stone fruit, roasted hazelnut, French pastry, lemon zest and a hint of vanilla notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that's plush and refined at the same time. Brilliantly framed by bright acidity, making it wonderfully structured for a graceful development. From their home vineyard in Renwick. Certified organic. At its best: 2023 to 2034" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2021

"5182 is the identification number of one of the oldest vineyards in Marlborough. A rich, weighty chardonnay with grapefruit, nectarine, struck-flint, hazelnut and bready yeast lees flavours supported by tangy, refreshing acidity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, The Real Review, Nov 2021

Lifted aromas of pink grapefruit, toasted almond, and white nectarine are complemented by smoky savoury notes, white florals ad hints of spice. These aromas follow on to a complex a, fleshy palate with real depth. Lovely integrated toasty oak and a lingering persistence complete this wine.
