Neck Of The Woods Central Otago Chardonnay 2019
- French oak
- Apricot & cirtus
- Fig & nougat
- Silky mouthfeel
"Stylish and refined, this gorgeous Chardonnay shows apricot, fig, nougat and roasted hazelnut characters with a hint of oatmeal complexity. The palate displays excellent weight and persistency backed by silky texture and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2021
"Fine, complex and alluring bouquet with aromas of ripe white fleshed stone fruits, citrus and softly spoken barrel spices. There's a layer of minerality within the bouquet suggesting crushed wet rock. One the palate - tense, youthful, fresh, fruity and varietal. Flavours of peach and apple, lemon and grapefruit, some quince the vanilla custard and mild toasty wood flavours. Textures from fine wood tannins and acidity along with medium alcohol from a strong foundation for the core of fruit and flavours to float upon. Lovely drinking today. Ideal drinking from late 2021 through to 2026+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2021
A pale lemon hue with aromas of citrus zest, nutmeg and freshly squeezed meyer lemon. The palate is taut and youthful with great synergy showing between the acidity, punchy citrus fruit and silky texture. A classic cool climate Chardonnay with tremendous energy and freshness that is rounded out by a judicious use of oak adding length and shape to the wine. This is a racy young wine that will reward patience now as it changes beautifully in the glass and also later as it develops in the bottle. This Chardonnay was made with care to reflect its Bannockburn origins - a magical subregion that is known for serious and enduring wine. A perfect Chardonnay for those times of contemplation and equally for those moments when you don't want to take life too seriously.
The Chardonnay grapes were hand harvested on the 28th of March, and whole-bunch pressed to a settling tank before going to barrel the next day with light solids. The wine was fermented and aged in fine grain French oak barriques (20% new) for 9 months with minimal stirring to aid the malolactic fermentation.
