Mudbrick Vineyard 'Francesca' Chardonnay 2020, Waiheke Island, Auckland
Very youthful and intense bouquet with aromas of citrus and peel, red apple and stone fruit, toasty barrel and brazil-nut scents, burnt butter and a leesy yoghurt note. Complex and young. Flavours on the palate mirror the bouquet with an intense fruit and wood flavour profile. This is a young wine and should be cellared for another 1-3 years first. Some fine tannins and bold acid line, a core of fruit too layer in contrast and a varietal signature. Full-bodied, rich in flavour and texture with a lengthy dry finish. best drinking likely from 2024 through 2034.
