Stad-ko Wines Chardonnay 2021, Arapai Vineyard, Martinborough

Youthful, elegant and lifted bouquet, varietal and fruity with scents of fresh yellow peach and red apple, cashew nut new wood, some softer quieter spice qualities and mineral earthy complexity. As the wine touches the palate there’s a fine satin-smooth texture, but this gives way almost immediately to fruit, acidity and oak flavours reflecting the bouquet, but also the careful management of fruit, ferment and ageing processes. Almost full-bodied in style with complexity and leangth. A wine to taste again in 12 months. Well made, taut and youthful with best drinking from late 2023 through 2029.
