Akarua Baron Edmond de Rothschild Chardonnay 2022, Bannockburn, Central Otago
A lovely and enticing bouquet of white fleshed fruits and flowers, there’s a layer of fine lees then oak spices. On the palate a satin smooth texture touches first then flavours of white fleshed fruits and citrus, some grapefruit peel then flavours of fine lees and wood. Tannins are soft and fine, acidity in balance with the wine and judicious use of oak. Balanced and well made with a lengthy salivating finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028.
