West Brook Waimauku Chardonnay 2017, Auckland
This is a delicious wine built around texture, a sense of place and the best the variety has to offer from this renowned Auckland property. Winemaker James Rowan has harnessed both core fruit aromas and flavours as well as textured and complexity. Aromas and flavours of peach and grapefruit with a raw cashew nut oak quality, wood spice and a clay mineral qualities. There’s a satin and silk texture as the wine touches the palate then acidity and and fine oak tannins for texture and mouthfeel then grapefruit and stone fruit flavours. An excellent example with a long finish. Best drinking from 2021 through 2027.
