W5 Marlborough Chardonnay 2020

Description

• French oak
• White peach
• Caramel notes
• Lingering finish

"It's splendidly ripe and elegantly complex, showing golden peach, mango, cedar and brioche notes on the nose, followed by a wonderfully textured palate filled with delectable fruit flavours backed by stylish oak infusion. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2021

A stylish Chardonnay with aromas of white peach, nectarine and subtle caramel notes. The palate is elegant and silky with stone fruit flavours, and a subtle oak character. 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, predominantly in the Awatere Valley of Marlborough. The wine is partially fermented in seasoned French oak and these nutty oak notes support the bright fruit flavours.

Food Pairing: Match with Bluefin or Red tuna tartare or a creamy chicken risotto.
