Tiki Single Vineyard North Canterbury Chardonnay 2023
New Zealand, Waipara Valley
Chardonnay
Description
NOSE: The nose displays aromas of quince, pear and rock melon which are gently supported by a subtle oak background.
PALATE: Full malolactic fermentation has added complexity and softness to the wine without creating an overtly buttery style. This has been further enhanced by the use of older oak that allows the fruit to be expressed without being dominated by smoky aromas. The palate has a fullness to it which gives it good length while at the same time finishing quite refreshingly dry.
