The Marlborist Chardonnay 2020, Marlborough
The bouquet delivers nice complexity with a fine lees and spice lift then aromas and flavours of fresh and baked stone fruit, red apple and a baked custard note before the compexity of French oak and baking spices layer through. Dry with a near full-bodied weight, fine satin texture with acidity and fine wood tannins to lay the foundation. Fruit flavours of yellow and white flesh, citrus and a fine raw cashew nut quality add complexity to athis youthful and totally drinkable example. The use of higher solids in the winemaking show as a touch of gunlint and wild spice along with a floral charm and mineral quality. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028+.
