Wither Hills Chardonnay 2006 Wednesday, Jul 16 2008
Tasting Notes and New Zealand and Marlborough and Variety and White and chardonnay
Wither Hills are in fine form at the moment. I like the whole range. Every egg a bird you might say.
Not exactly backwards in coming forwards this has immediate, if not obvious, appeal with nectarine, citrus, mango, a touch of funk, spicy oak and some savoury lees characters. In the mouth full bodied and equally full flavoured - tropical fruit, juicy sweet lime, spice and creme caramel all taking part in the riot of flavours that’s settled and controlled by a good hosing down of crisp clean acidity. Good long aftertaste of spice, mango and citrus to close. It’s a lovely wine, action packed and fun to drink. Definitely a crowd pleaser..and something of a bargain too.
