<p>Cloudy Bay Chardonnay, Marlborough and Central Otago, New Zealand, 2019Grape: 100% Chardonnay. Barrel fermented and aged in French oak for 11 months.Producer Tasting Note:The 2019 Chardonnay is fresh, fragrant and mouth-watering. The nose is redolent of orchard fruit, white peach, apricot, blossom and warm hay.The palate is concentrated, with notes of apple and pear balanced by gentle vanilla spice, hazelnut and a subtle saline note. A dart of citrus acidity delivers freshness and leads to a long and appealing finish.Critic’s Tasting Note:”A subtle, restrained, yet zesty bouquet with aromas of lemon, rose hip, and green melon with hints of cinnamon, and toasted sourdough barrel influence. Lemon zest flavours persist on the creamy-textured palate. A wine showing some elegance, poise, and balance, juxtaposed by youthful potency.”93/100 points, New Zealand Wine Rater, January 2021Food Match: Enjoy with white fish and vegetable dishes.Cloudy Bay Chardonnay, Marlborough and Central Otago, New Zealand 2019</p>
