W5 Marlborough Chardonnay 2017

Description

• Oaked
• White peach
• Crème brulee
• Brioche & toasted hazelnut

"Brilliantly priced and gorgeously expressed, it is instantly appealing on the nose showing grilled peach, brioche, hazelnut and vanilla pod characters. The palate delivers terrific fruit intensity and mid palate weight, wonderfully complemented by creamy mouthfeel and silky texture" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2018

A stylish Chardonnay with aromas of white peach, crème brulee and subtle caramel notes. The palate is elegant and silky with stone fruit flavours, and a toasted hazelnut finish. An attractive, easy-drinking style with a long, lingering finish. Drinking well now and will continue to develop over the next few years.

Fruit for this wine was harvested from a select number of Marlborough vineyards, mainly in the Rapaura area. The wine is partially fermented in seasoned oak and these nutty oak notes support the bright fruit flavours.

Food Pairing: Match with oysters Rockefeller or a creamy chicken risotto.
