Mystery Gisborne Chardonnay 2020 (01)
- Barrel-fermented
- Golden peach
- Butterscotch
- Supple finish
"Gorgeously ripe and complex, the wine shows apricot, rockmelon, vanilla, oak and brioche characters on the nose, followed by a creamy palate offering succulent fruit flavours together with rounded mouthfeel and juicy acidity. It's supple and lingering with plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2021
This is a 5 star award winning Chardonnay with a saving of $10 per bottle! Hurry, as there are only 200 cases available!
This wine is a lovely pale, straw gold. The nose presents white florals, ripe sweetcorn, stonefruit and honey-dew melon, backed by a dash of lees influence and subtle French oak. The wine is medium to full bodied with glorious texture, weight and length, and a delightful creaminess on the finish. It is ready to drink now, but will improve into the medium term with careful, cool cellaring.
A spectacular vintage in Gisborne, with warm, settled weather allowing harvest to take place at the perfect moment. Two separate parcels of Gisborne fruit were harvested in March. The free run went to barrel for a wild ferment with a small amount in tank to be inoculated with a commercial yeast strain. The barrel ferment components went through malolactic fermentation at the end of primary fermentation. The wine stayed in barrel/tank until October 2021. Overall, 20% of the assemblage saw new French oak and 75% was barrel fermented. The remaining 25% was tank fermented. The wine was bottled in November 2021.
Food Pairing: Match with seafood, chicken and pork.
