Delta Marlborough Chardonnay (2021)

Offering good value, the 2021 vintage (4*) was grown mostly in the lower Wairau Valley and principally (85 per cent) fermented in seasoned French and American oak barriques. Bright, light lemon/green, with a fragrant, slightly buttery bouquet, it is full-bodied and vibrantly fruity, with ripe, peachy flavours, showing considerable complexity, balanced acidity and a smooth, dry finish.
