Marisco Vineyards The King's Bastard Chardonnay Marlborough 750ml

Vintage: 2015

Country of Origin: New Zealand

Region: Marlborough

A classic Marlborough Chardonnay fruit statement, super bright and uber fresh, underpinned by richer elements derived from barrel fermentation and other winemaker influences: Smoke tinged lemon peel and yellow grapefruit citrus layered with aromas of roasted nuts, creamy vanilla and a whiff of fresh untoasted oak. This juxtaposition of zippy fruit freshness and savoury richness continues through onto a mid-weight palate where juicy acid edges further enhance the positive palate tension between taut yellow citrus fruit characters and the barrel based toasted, mealy richness.
