Mount Brown Estates Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2021, North Canterbury

Very attractive bouquet of smoke and toast, roasted yellow stone fruits and ripe grapefruit. There’s a baked vanilla custard quality with a touch of nutmeg. The reductive gun-flint layer will attract many to the youthful complex drive currently at this wines core, me included. Full-bodied on the palate, dry and weighty with a creamy mouthfeel with contrasting flavours of spice and barrel, peach and baked apple then grapefruit and mineral gun-flint qualities. Still drinking young and will develop over time losing some of the reductive layer and showcasing more of the fruit and barrel attributes. Great drinking from 2023 through 2030.
