Ngatarawa Silks NZ Chardonnay 2004

86/100 45

A new label from Ngatarawa that sits just below the Glazebrook Chardonnay in price if not in quality. Glazebrook will move up in price and quality to leave more room for Silks. Pleasant peach and grapefruit flavours with subtle oak and good use of nutty yeast lees.

Tasted: Mar 2005   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $20 (~USD $15)
