Windrush Empire Chardonnay 2019, Marlborough (Organic)

Windrush-Empire-Chardonnay-2019.png

Delicious and distinctive bouquet with a core of chalky minerality, ripe citrus, white fleshed fruits and nut-like oak and lees layer. On the palate – lots of drive and texture from acidity, lees, oak and minerality. A Chablis-like flavour, but also very new world-like with white-fleshed peach and lemon, cashew nut oak and lees, fine tannins and overall palate engaging textures. Balanced and well-made, quite youthful and vibrant, lengthy finish, well made. Drink now and through 2024.
