Marlborough DO Chardonnay 2023 (750 ml.) Cloudy Bay
The Chardonnay Marlborough 2023 by Cloudy Bay originates in the sunny lands of New Zealand, from four plots in Brancott, Fairhall, Ben Morven and Central Wairau Valley, areas that bring complexity and unique nuances. After about 12 months in French oak barrels, the wine shows an elegant, intense profile combining marine freshness and solar warmth. On the nose, aromas of lemon, green apple and orange blossom, enriched by hints of vanilla and delicate toast. On the palate it is energetic yet balanced, with solid structure, vibrant minerality and persistent finish. Perfect with shellfish, grilled fish, white meats and aged cheeses, a white of strong personality and contemporary charm.
