Astrolabe Chardonnay 2018, Marlborough
The bouquet and palate of this Chardonnay showcase fine winemaking, really good fruit and Marlborough. Aromas and flavours of lemon and apple, grapefruit and new oak, a crumbled soil mineral layer and super fine wood tannins. The acidity is plentiful helping to push the messages of youth, fruit purity and freshness. Medium+ weight, satin texture, balanced, well made and ready. Best drinking upon purchase and through 2024. I also tasted this wine 24 hours earlier and the wine today is as compact and fine now as it was then.
