Mt Difficulty Ghost Town Chardonnay 2020, Lowburn Valley, Central Otago

There’s no mistaking the bold creamy peach, cashew nut-butter and vanilla scents, a developing bouquet offering aromas of ripe yellow stone fruits, vanilla-cream and smoky wood adds complexity. On the palate a full-bodied wine with a core of fruit and oak, some tannins and decent acid line offer texture and contrast to the fruit. The smoky wood attributes and developing mouthfeel along with a touch of clay soils echoed showcase a wine that is ready for food or a large wine glass with best drinking from 2023 through 2027.
