Brick Bay Chardonnay 2019, Matakana, Auckland

Vibrant, youthful, distinctive and compelling bouquet with aromas of white peach and quince, grapefruit and clay-like mineral scents. The unmistakable aroma of wood spices and mild toastiness adds complexity and depth. On the palate - weighty, fresh, youthful and fresh with flavours that mirror the nose, plenty of acidity and tension. Flavours of vanilla, raw nut and barrel tannins add texture and complexity. Don’t rush to drink this wine - it will sit happily in your cellar till late 2022. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028.
