Settlement 'Poplars Vineyard' Chardonnay 2021, Marlborough

Deep straw with some flashes of gold and a silver shimmer lead to a bouquet of intensity and richness, barrel spices and ripe stone fruit scents. Aromas of roasted peach and vanilla, baked apple and clove, a dry stone mineral quality and gentle lift from the alcohol. Lots of weight and creaminess as the wine touches the palate, dry with layers of wood spice and fruits flavours that reflect the bouquet, plus grapefruit and a touch of pineapple. A decent acid line and warming alcohol extend the finish and complexity. Well made with best drinking from 2024 through 2029.
