Two Rivers Clos Des Pierres Marlborough Chardonnay 2021
- French oak
- Toasted almonds
- Lemon curd
- Long, pure finish
"This is immensely complex and engaging with nectarine, lemon pith, subtle vanilla and popcorn notes with a gorgeous whiff of gun smoke. The powerfully concentrated palate displays outstanding focus and depth, wonderfully complemented by refined texture and bright acidity. Multi-layered and sophisticated with an impressively long structured finish. At its best: 2023 to 2033" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022
"Faintly hazy, pale yellow with some depth and a green sheen, even colour throughout. This is greeted with a full bouquet, penetrating struck match, roasted almond, underlying stonefruit, citrus, wildflowers, buttery pastry and spice. Full-bodied, mouth-filling aromas of flint, struck match and roasted almond entwined with lemon, apricot, unveiling spice, wildflower and minerals. Brilliant acidity provides good energy and freshness to the rich details, carrying flavours to a long, crisp finish. Fine-textured phenolics intertwined minerals leaving a textural mouthfeel. This powerful Chardonnay strikes a good balance of rich details, freshness, and a long, lingering finish. Match with hazelnut-crusted grouper and roasted pork over the next 5-8 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Jun 2022
Bright lemon in colour, the bouquet offers aromas of toasted almonds and Meyer lemon mingled with struck match. On the palate the wine is bright and focused, opening up to layers of stone fruit and lemon curd, over hazelnuts and just a touch of toasted oak. The artisan winemaking approach has resulted in a classic and elegantly textured chardonnay, with natural fruit sweetness, good acidity and a long, pure finish.
Grapes were hand harvested from the The Spring Vineyard and from our high density planted Brookby Hill Vineyard.
Crops were down due to early spring frosts and a cold, wet flowering period. Summer was incredibly dry, and this led to an early harvest. The fruit quality this year was outstanding. 2021 vintage wines are exceptional!
Grapes were lightly whole bunch pressed and the juice naturally fermented. The wine was then aged for 11 months in 4,500L French oak cuves. Full malolactic fermentation occurred.
