Petrie Wairarapa Chardonnay
Wairarapa, North Island, New Zealand
Nothing to add to my 2 notes from 2020. Excellent QPR from a quality Martinborough producer. At around $30 should buy on a regular basis.

Feb 25th, 2021Smoky sulphides, struck match notes with Cashew nut and stone fruits. On the palate medium plus intensity bordering on profound. Peachy flavours with traces of Pineapple juice. Wonderful length and persistence. Have raved before on Delectable about the quality of New Zealand Chardonnay and this wine reinforces that view. Great QPR at only $30. Jancis said it’s like a good traditional Meursault. Excellent new world Chardonnay. Tasted again 15 weeks later on 1st October 2020 with consistent notes. Great QPR as stated above. Hard to understand why their excellent Pinot Noir is more than twice the price.
