Wishbone Marlborough Chardonnay 2023

Description

Lemon, Nougat, Oak

"Pristine and fruit expressive with subtle complexity, showing golden peach, mandarin and lemon zest nuances with a hint of savoury pastry. The palate displays beautifully rounded mouthfeel together with creamy texture and well-balanced acidity, making it immediately approachable and drinkable. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2024

Aromas of lemon, peach and melon leap from the glass leading to a complex palate of stone fruit, creamy nougat, and citrus on the finish.

Grown and crafted in the Marlborough region, this Chardonnay has been handled with precision and care during the fermentation process. Using select yeasts and stainless-steel vessels that enhance the flavour profile of this wine, the cellar team barely had to lift a finger thanks to the excellent quality of fruit following the 2023 growing season. This wine underwent a malolactic fermentation to add beautiful texture and complexity to the wine before the final blends were selected for bottling.

Food Pairing: If you were hoping for a delicious Chardonnay to serve with dinner this weekend, your wish just came through. The 2023 Wishbone Chardonnay is fruit forward and elegant, pairing easily with white meat dishes or a delicious creamy risotto.
