Oyster Bay
Marlborough Chardonnay
Oyster Bay is situated in the picturesque headlands of the Marlborough Sounds. Pale lemon with aromas of stone fruit aromas and citrus notes. On the palate apple flavors with oak and creamy mineral tones. Medium finish, not overly complex, good value. Consistent quality.

May 24th, 2022I felt like a Chardonnay this afternoon and it is from NZ. This wine as does most of the wines down under have a screw top. At first crack on the nose I am getting citrus notes, lemon, pineapple, white flowers, a bit of minerality, vanilla, Creme Brûlée, and some butter. On the palate I am getting passion fruit, pineapple, lemon zest, wet flint rock, and an oily mouth feel. There is a Med + acidity and a long nice finish, very crisp and fresh. Let me tell you at $9.99 what I paid Oyster Bay has a winner. I like there Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay is a great QPR.

Ripe stone fruit aromas and citrus notes. On the palate apple flavors with oak and creamy mineral tones. Medium finish, not overly complex, good value. Tasting Sample.
