Description
- American & French oak
- Peaches & cream
- Subtle vanilla pod
- Lingering finish
"This is gorgeously expressed on the nose, showing mango, white flesh nectarine, vanilla and toasty oak aromas with a hint of butterscotch. The palate offers layers of creamy texture and delicious flavours, wonderfully framed by finely pitched acidity, finishing lingering and satisfying. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2024
Well defined aromas of melon, nectarine, and a subtle vanilla pod, this Chardonnay displays a bright and elegant palate of peaches and cream with delicious spice lingering on the finish.
Our 2023 Vintage W5 Chardonnay was sourced from vineyards within Dillons Point and Rapaura sub areas of Marlborough. The fruit was monitored consistently throughout the growing season and machine harvested once the grapes reached optimum ripeness.
At the winery, each parcel was fermented separately in a combination of seasoned French and American Barriques. The wine was then aged on lees for a period of nine months, adding complexity and body. At this stage, the wine underwent a second fermentation, crafting an elegant, delectable mouthfeel.

Do wonder if this gets better with age, but never seems to hang around like some other wines we buy.
