The Boneline Sharkstone Chardonnay 2019, Wairarapa
Plenty of classic and modern aromas Chardonnay in the bouquet with vanilla and clove scented sweet French Oak, white smoke and toasted nut. There’s a core of fruit too with scents of baked nectarine and peach. grapefruit peel, a touch of pith lite yet quiet minerality. On the palate - full-bodied, satin cream texture and flavours of baked stone fruits then contrasting flavours of baked nut, oak and wood spices. Medium acidity, fine wood tannins all lead to a youthful, fresh and delicious finish. A young wine too so okay to leave in cellar till 2022. best drinking from 2022 through 2026.
