The Ramblers Marlborough Chardonnay 2025

Description

Peach, Spice, Vanilla

"It's delightfully fruited and elegantly fragrant on the nose with ripe peach, rockmelon, lemon peel, and nougat notes, followed by a beautifully rounded palate offering succulent fruit flavours with fine acidity, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2025

"Aromas and flavours of fresh peaches and a vanilla cream, then apple and a soft smoky quality. Firm and youthful on the palate with pomaceous and orchard fruits, some citrus and gentle spices from a touch of wood. Balanced, even and ready to drink from 2026 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

This Chardonnay shows a light gold core with a thin lemon rim. The nose is fresh and inviting, with ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a gentle hint of cream. On the palate, it is full, round, and clean, carrying nectarine, peach, and lemon flavours, complemented by a touch of cream and warm spice on the finish. Full-bodied with a rich mouthfeel, it can be cellared for up to five years.

Our 2025 Marlborough Chardonnay is a tribute to the wanderers, the ones who take to the countryside simply for the joy of it. Imagine that! We tip our hats to these energetic souls, for without the ramblers, perhaps the enchanting Marlborough landscape—and its world-class wines—might never have been truly discovered.

Machine-harvested at peak ripeness, the fruit was swiftly delivered to the winery where fermentation took place.
