Tohu Whenua Awa Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2018, Marlborough

A complete bouquet with layers of fresh yellow stone fruits and barrel spices, there’s also roasted nut and some butterscotch qualities, vanilla and a touch of burnt butter. Equally complete on the palate with a youthful silky touch then impact from wood adds breadth and texture with some fine tannins. Acidity lifts the fruit back to centre-stage and carries the flavours throughout the palate. Weight and nicely rich in flavours and textures, nutty with some wood flavours, vanilla, and textured complexity. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029. A wine that holds onto its character and freshness, ageing slowing and will reward those who buy.
