Rimu Grove Nelson Chardonnay 2016

Richly textured, rounded and flavoursome. The wine was aged for 11 months on lees in French oak barrels and this has enhanced the natural fruit intensity and added delicate nut characters. Fruit flavours roam between ripe citrus (mandarin and limes) to tropical melon while the ripeness of the fruit delivers some lovely, juicy acidity in the very long finish. This is a beautiful example of fruit-driven, oak matured chardonnay,
