The Landing 'Madre' Chardonnay 2021, Bay of Islands

A bouquet filled with energy and power, concentration, complexity and a sense of site and vintage. The core of the bouquet centers on aromas of grapefruit and a mix of peachy stone fruit scents, clay soils and a white smoke quality from the use of lees, whole-bunch and precise barrel selections. Still taut and youthful as the wine touches the palate with energy from the acid line, barrel and core fruit flavours. Tannins and acid line deliver a solid structure tempered by fruit and complexities. Dry, lengthy, taut, new and delicious with best drinking likely from 2026 through 2032.
