Villa Maria 'Taylors Pass' Chardonnay 2022, Marlborough

A straw yellow appearance with a bold and bright polish. Aromas and flavours of fresh peach and bakes apple then spices of oak barrel with vanilla and nutmeg suggestions. As the wine opens out across the palate flavours of grapefruit and lemon emerge enhanced by the acid line and embellished by the oak. Plenty of weight with some fine tannins and flavours of yellow orchard fruits and baking spice. For me this wine reflects the vintage with some excellent winemaking highlights, also less intensity and concentration as previous vintages. Overall though a well made with best drinking from 2024 through 2028.
