Ant Moore A+ Marlborough Chardonnay 2021
- French oak
- Golden peach & rockmelon
- Brioche & crème brulée
- Rich & lingering
"Wonderfully fruited and complex, the bouquet shows golden peach, rockmelon, vanillin oak and brioche characters, leading to a gorgeously rounded palate that’s richly textured and lingering. It’s plush and flavoursome with a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2022
A lively golden straw colour. Rich brioche and crème brulée with a hint of nuttiness and flint. Peach flavours are perfectly integrated with subtle oak which is bound by structured acidity.
Harvest 2021 was about 8 days earlier than 2020 and kicked off on March 9th and was complete in 4 weeks finishing on April 9th. No two vintages are the same and this year the difference was the lower yield. Springtime flowering conditions weren’t favourable with cooler weather than usual leading to a large reduction in yield. Some late spring frosts occurred affecting some localised areas of Marlborough and contributed to the lower yielding 2021 vintage. However, we had great weather throughout the ripening period, lots of sunshine and cooler nights, and very little rain so there was no disease pressure and all varieties achieved fantastic ripeness and flavours, albeit small volumes.
The grapes were harvested from our premium chardonnay producing vineyard in the heart of the Wairau valley. These were crushed and the juice then fermented with wild yeast in French oak barriques which gives this wine the complex flavours and interesting textures. The naturally occurring secondary fermentation adds to this complexity giving this wine rich accents of creamy vanilla.
Food Pairing: Pair with an organic barbecued smoked chicken for a match made in heaven.
