Giesen Chardonnay 2023, New Zealand
A lovely example, classically styled with a core of fresh stone fruits and citrus, a judicious level of wood and layers of spice and stony mineral qualities. I also notice a gentle blonde-tobacco quality - from oak. A satin texture touches the palate first with contrasting acidity ensuring the wine has both mouthfeel and impact. Fine tannins, crisp, dry and new, flavours mirror the bouquet, a wine best enjoyed from 2024 through 2026+.
