144 Islands Chardonnay 2020, Bay of Islands

Classic and familiar aromas of yellow fleshed stone fruits, fresh red apple and grapefruit, fresh cashew nut and brown baking spices. Complexity builds as the wine opens up in glass. On the palate - textures of satin and lite oil with flavours of stone and tree fruits, citrus, baking spices and nuts. There’s a fine mealy-ness and mineral chalky layer to the mouth feel enhanced by the acidity. Warm, generous and well made. Best drinking from late 2021 through 2025.
