Description
Greenhough Road Block Chardonnay, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand, 2020
Grape: 100% hand picked, organic Chardonnay sourced from both the Morison & Road Block vineyards (Mendoza & UCD15 clones), wild fermentation in barrel (10% new French oak) with 9 months' ageing in French oak with minimal lees stirring, malolactic completed in Spring, bottled unfined and only "coarse" filtered.
Ripe aromas of tangelo, apricot and subtle savoury, bakery notes. Citrus fruit flavours are at the riper end moving to tropical papaya and a fleshy, creamy succulence. A little new oak spice and barrel-ferment richness adds complexity to this riper fruit spectrum. The palate retains the elegance of juicy acidity throughout.
Match with meaty fish and shellfish. Subtly favoured poultry and pork dishes.
