TW Reserve Gisborne Chardonnay 2018
- Oaked
- Ripe peach
- Toasty hazelnut
- Creamy & fulfilling
This Chardonnay has been elegantly fermented with oak to give aromas of ripe peach and tropical fruit that are enrichened with notes of nougat and cream. The palate is a balanced expression of ripe stone fruit, citrus and oak, layered with flavours of golden nectarine, pink grapefruit and toasty hazelnut. Silky and long, fresh fruit flavours lead into the finish which is creamy and fulfilling.
Harvested in the cool of the morning, the Chardonnay was then crushed and destemmed to the press where two press cuts were made to maximise final varietal expression. Once pressed the two juice fractions were slightly clarified before inoculation with aromatic and complexity enhancing yeast. Careful temperature control during ferment ensured that stone fruit and tropical aromas were retained as well as amplifying palate texture. Malolactic fermentation with oak adds creamy nutty notes and length while fully integrating the new oak characters.
The fresh fruit character and elegant richness of this Chardonnay will pair perfectly with rich chicken dishes, as well as fresh seafood. Scallops wrapped in bacon, or freshly steamed mussels with garden herbs – or enjoy with your favourite chees and antipasti.
