Windrush Organic Empire Chardonnay 2024, Marlborough
Complex, a little closed, youthful and pure fruited with layers of spice and mineral. Aromas and flavours of white peach-cream and apple, a layer of white nectarine and vanilla, clay and stone mineral qualities. Taut, dry, youthful and palate awakening structure. A wine to cellar and develop with a flinty acid drive, nicely chosen oak influences and saline mouthfeel. Some lees and barrel smoke add complexity and intrigue. Well made with best drinking from late 2026 through 2-33.
