Old Coach Road Nelson Chardonnay (2019)

Probably at its peak, the generous 2019 vintage (3*) was fermented in stainless steel tanks, then most of the blend (70 per cent) was matured for several months in French oak. Bright yellow/green, it is mouthfilling, with good depth of peachy flavours, a touch of complexity, and fresh acidity. Fine value.
