Matawhero Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Tasting Notes

Youthful, new, ripe and pure fruited bouquet showcasing aromas of grapefruit then apple, peach then barrel spice. The wine opens up nicely on the palate with flavours of fresh and baked white fleshed orchard fruits, lemon then gentle barrel spices, a lower oak, older oak impact. Plush textures with a satin-cream mouthfeel, a light cashew-nut quality, super fine tannins and balanced even finish. Ready to drink from late 2023 through 2028. Excellent.
