Vintage Lane Marlborough NZ Chardonnay 2009

78/100 35

Light, fresh fruit-focused Chardonnay with grapefruit/citrus and a suggestion of mineral. Dry with lively acidity. There may be an oak influence, as suggested on the back label, but it is certainly not obvious. Simple, light-flavored wine that offers good value at this price.

Tasted: Feb 2011    Average price: NZD $15 (~USD $11)
