Te Whare Ra TWR Chardonnay 2019, Marlborough
Pure, fresh, youthful, lifted and ripe scents peaches and apples and apricot. Aromas of wood spices and mineral are intertwined with suggestions of new wood and vanilla, dry stones and silty soils. Complex and engaging. On the palate - very youthful, tense, ripe, fruity and dry. Flavours of citrus then stone fruit are followed by mineral and oak - not too intense yet distinctive and engaging. Medium+ acidity and oak, fine wood tannins and youthful grip. An expertly made wine with a long finish. Best kept in the cellar till 2022 then enjoy drinking through 2030+.
