White florals, citrus notes verging on white peach. These same notes extend through to the palate with Medium minus acid finishing with a saline note. Very moreish. There should be a bigger fuss made on the excellence of New Zealand Chardonnay which can be world class. Just the right amount of acid for short term cellaring. Thoroughly delicious. Had another bottle 93 weeks later on 3rd January 2025 with consistent notes. Just an excellent new world Chardonnay. Have the last one at the end of 2025 or early 2026.
