Another wonderful Chardonnay from New Zealand's Waipara region.
Greystone originated in 2000. This organic Chardonnay comes from clay and limestone soils and sees nine months elevage. It's wild fermented and sees some MLF with 21% new French oak.
Glistening in the glass, a bright morning sunrise shimmers in the glass. Oak is prominent but not overpowering. Pineapple acidity, nectarines and peaches muse - the fruit is delicate and so very alluring. A tangy lemon acidity brings the mouth to water and demands another sip. It would be rude to not oblige.
Drink to eight years.
