Collaboration Aurulent Chardonnay 2022 750ml

Collaboration Aurulent Chardonnay 2022 750ml

Deep intense citrus character with subtle, understated oak and a fine yeasty, fresh bread dough characteristic. Soft, luscious, creamy and layered on the palate. Lean, bright and fresh with a lingering dry and saline finish

Vineyards
90% Kokako, Ohiti Valley and 10% Ascot, Havelock North

Winemaking
Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, natural ferment, 100% malo-lactic fermentation, aged in barrel on lees 8 months, new (28%) and old French oak, individual barrel selection to taste.

94/100 – The Real Review – Bob Campbell – Master of Wine
Taut, high-energy chardonnay with grapefruit, green apple, oyster-shell, ginger and nutty yeast lees flavours. A vibrant, mouth-watering wine that is certainly approachable now but should age well for a few years at least.

Alc: 13.5%
