Marlborough DO Chardonnay 2021 (750 ml.) Cloudy Bay
Chardonnay by Cloudy Bay is made in the sunny areas of Marlborough, New Zealand, from four parcels of vineyards located in four sub-zones: Brancott, Fairhall, Ben Morven and the Central Wairau Valley. After aging for about a year in French oak barrels, a powerful and exotic white of great finesse and incisive character is obtained. It encompasses the features of the land and the sea, being at the same time fresh and sunny, energetic and delicate. Fruity tones reminiscent of lemon and apple and floral tones of orange blossom, set against a mineral background. Freshness and balance with structure and personality, very intriguing.
