Description
Greenhough Road Block Chardonnay, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand, 2019
Grape: 100% hand picked, organic Chardonnay sourced from both the Morison & Hope vineyards (Mendoza & UCD15 clones), wild fermentation in barrel (16% new French oak) with 10 months' ageing in French oak with minimal lees stirring, malolactic completed in Spring, bottled unfined and only "coarse" filtered.
Ripe aromas of tangelo, apricot and subtle savoury, bakery notes. Citrus fruit flavours in the 2019 vintage are at the riper end moving to tropical papaya and a fleshy, creamy succulence. A little new oak spice and barrel-ferment richness adds complexity to this riper fruit spectrum. The palate retains the elegance of juicy acidity throughout.
Match with meaty fish and shellfish. Subtly favoured poultry and pork dishes.
