Villa Maria Reserve Barrique Fermented Chardonnay 2019, Gisborne

Fantastic bouquet ticking all the boxes of aromatic texture, a core of ripe yellow fleshed fruit, citrus, wood spice and a core of complexity with intrigue. Full-bodied, complex, textured, palate refreshing and dry. Flavours mirror the bouquet led by citrus then wood spices, toasty barrel with vanilla and baked goods moments, sea-meal custard and a citrus peel bite. There’s a stony/clay/chalk -like mineral quality adding to the length and charm. An excellent wine with great drinking today and longevity with drinking through to 2029.
