Riverby Estate, Marlborough, New Zealand
From 20 year old, low cropped, hand picked vines and cropped at a miserly 6 tonnes per hectre. 100% Mendoza clone, barrel fermented and aged in French oak with regular lees stirring. In other words - the Rolls Royce treatment. "The nose is youthful and fragrant displaying white peach, cream and subtle vanillin oak characters. It's concentrated on the palate with superbly fine texture, well balanced acidity and a beautifully expanding finish. A beautifully crafted Chardonnay with lovely detail and precision. At its best now- 2013." 91/100 Wine Orbit Magazine.
