I don’t generally think much of NZ chardonnay (with a few notable exceptions) but I reckon this is pretty smart. Imported by Linear Acidity.

Aromas of citrus, stonefruit, oatmeal, a wisp of smoke and some toasty oak. On the palate plenty of flavour with intense grapefruit, lime and peach fruit backed with spicy toasty oak spread on a lightly creamy base. It has bright penetrating acidity and excellent line and length. Finishes long with some ‘lime spider’ flavours. Very nice.
