New Zealand, Martinborough
Chardonnay
Palliser Estate 'Hua Nui' Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022
Pencarrow Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Description

An exotic and complex nose of peach, lemon meringue, hazelnut, nougat, vanilla and almond butter. Delicious already with creamy pasta dishes, roast pork and poultry, this wine will reward cellaring for up to 8 years from vintage. Sumptuous and mouth-filling, the texture is creamy and mealy, with layers of peaches and crème brûlée giving way to a fresh, white peach acidity and a mouth-watering saline finish. A bold, rich style with power, complexity and length.
