The Boneline Sharkstone Chardonnay 2018, Waipara, North Canterbury

chardonnay.png

An enticing flinty, fruity and smoky bouquet with aromas of roasted orchard fruits and vanilla, a raw sugar hit then apple, grapefruit peel ad mineral. Complex. On the palate - delicious! - full-flavoured and almost full-bodied with roasted yellow fruit flavours, baking spices, wood smoke and citrus. The warming alcohol and contrasting acid line enhance the flavours as well as adding power, richness, weight and creaminess. Best drinking from today and through 2023.
