Toi Toi Lifestyle Gisborne Chardonnay 2018

Description

"Beautifully fruited and elegantly complex, the bouquet shows golden peach, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and nougat characters, leading to a succulent palate that is creamy and lingering. It is generously fruited and delightfully expressed with layers of silky texture and ripe fruit flavours, finishing long and soothing. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2019

"Full creamy oak and peach-centric bouquet. Flavours of fresh and baked stone fruits, grapefruit, apple and vanilla. Quite creamy in texture. Simple, fruity, just enough oak, balanced and well made. Drink now and through 2021" Cameron Douglas

The 2018 Chardonnay has a fabulous array of stone fruit and citrus aromas that are underpinned with hints of nutty French oak. The flavours are rich and full with soft acidity that produces a long, clean and satisfying finish.  Best served slightly chilled and shared with great friends.

Food Pairing: We recommend pouring a glass of this Chardonnay paired with seared scallops, wilted rocket, risotto and bisque with a crusty white roll – the perfect complement to a warm dish!
