Whitehaven Marlborough Chardonnay (2019)

The 2019 vintage (4*) was hand-harvested, fermented and matured in French oak puncheons (35 per cent new), and given a full, softening malolactic fermentation. Bright, light lemon/green, with a creamy bouquet, it is mouthfilling, with generous, vibrant, peachy, citrusy flavours, well-integrated oak, good complexity, gentle acidity, and a dry, smooth finish. Best drinking 2022+.
