Villa Maria Reserve Marlborough Chardonnay 2019 750ml

This Reserve Marlborough Chardonnay has refined aromas of grapefruit zest, crème caramel, and fresh figs. On the palate, fresh brown bread, ground almonds, and white peach, with a fresh citrus acidity provide a lengthy and concentrated finish.

Vintage: The Wairau and Awatere Valleys vineyards are planted on wind-blown loess and alluvial over clay soil terraces, with river stones reflecting heat back into the fruit. Excellent spring weather with warm temperatures contributed, while cooler weather helped retain natural acidities. Hand harvesting from key vineyards kept harvesting plans dynamic providing an opportunity to craft great wines.
