One of the best Marlborough Chardonnays I’ve tried in a while. Intense flavours with a mix of tree fruit/citrus plus a medley of savoury toasted nut, wholemeal and classy oak flavours. The wine’s best feature is its seductively silken texture. There’s not a whisker of hardness and yet it has a good acidity-driven structure. Top wine.
