Untouched by oak, this richly textured Marlborough Chardonnay displays aromas of ripe nectarine, melon and bright citrus underpinned by complex nutty butterscotch gained from both extended time on lees and malolactic fermentation. On the palate fresh flavours of peach and tropical fruit are balanced with subtle creaminess and great length, leading to a smooth and focused finish.
A dark garnet color announces an intense, woody bouquet with notes of tobacco, liquorice and blackcurrant. On the palate, this wine is rich and powerful from the attack. Ripe tannins structure this wine without hardening it. Ample, with a lot of substance, the finish is warm, structured, roasted with ripe fruits.
