Matt Connell Wines Lowburn Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2019, Central Otago

Excellent

Pure, varietal and deceptively complex bouquet with aromas of white peach, pear and sweet citrus. There’s a raw cashew nut oak layer with a mild toasty wood moment alongside a flinty mineral quality. On the palate - there’s no mistaking the youth of this wine with tension and poise from the acidity, wood tannins and oak. Fruit flavours re-merge in contrast bringing together all the elements and completing the first chapter in this wine’s journey. The wine maintains its complexity, but requires some time to bring the wine into complete harmony. Well made and lengthy finish with best drinking from mid-to-late 2021 through 2028+
