Variety: Chardonnay
Region: South Island
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009

Shop Review:
Classic aromas of crisp apple, pear and lemons with a hint of vanilla and toast. It's rounded and creamy without forgoing the mineral texture born of those alluvial soils.

My Review
The nose was full of fruits, both crisp and acidic. There was a warm toast over the fruits bringing the two together very well. On the palate, this wine delivered a mouth full of crisp  fruits. In the mid palate I found the acidic fruits and the vanilla flavors of the toast. The chardonnay finished with an acidic creamy flavor, of a lemon or key lime yogurt. This was a very complex wine and was outstandingly crafted.
