Batch Winery Thomas Legacy Chardonnay 2022, Waiheke Island

Aromas and flavours speak of soil first with stone and crumbled clay quality, then fruit from fresh peach to apple and lemon, the oak surrounds the fruit with a spice and youthful power, some wood smoke and a whisper of brown sugar or caramel. There’s also a lees quality adding complexity and depth throughout the bouquet. On the palate - a full-bodied wine with power and intensity, youth and complexity. As the wine opens out in glass the impacts from barrel become more intense, acidity accentuates the spice and tannin layers with the sweetness from alcohol and barrel pulling together the elements and attributes. Well made with a decent length and finish. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2028. Overall a delicious wine.
