Kelly Washington Rapaura Chardonnay, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2019, 750ml

Organic and biodynamically farmed. A powerful yet elegant cool climate Chardonnay, showing savoury, flinty notes interlaced with lifted warm tropical fruits. The palate is focused, benefiting from new French oak.

Picked early to retain vibrancy and acidity, the 2018 is quite subtle on the nose, offering mealy and smoky notes. The palate is highly textured and layered, yet supported by fine-boned acidity and classic bready notes. A classic cool climate Chardonnay.
