Villa Maria Single Vineyard McDiarmid Hill Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2020, Gisborne

Bold and distinctive bouquet with aromas of toasty smoky French oak with a core of yellow stone fruits, old citrus peel and freshly baked apple. Complex and youthful, fresh and forward. Full-bodied power on the palate with a satin-cream texture and flavours of spicy stone fruit and smoky barrel. There’s a lot of texture from lees and wood tannins, acidity and fruit power. A delicious wine that coats the entire palate with flavour and mouthfeel. Best drinking from early 2022 through 2028+. Released November 1st
