Matawhero Church House Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2019, Gisborne

Youthful, ripe, vibrant, fresh and fruity with aromas of fresh sweet grapefruit, new season peach, yellow apple and oak with new wood, brazil nut and fresh vanilla custard thoughts. On the palate - weighty, dry, full-bodied and youthful. Flavours mirror the nose. Textures are driven by warming alcohol, medium+ acidity and new wood tannins. A very young wine so best cellared for a time to settle and meld the flavours together. Best drinking from mid to late 2021 through 2025.
