FIVE STAR, SMALL BATCH MARLBOROUGH CHARDONNAY
*******************************************************

FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit "Delightfully balanced and flavoursome with a lengthy satisfying finish"
18/20 | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews "This is a powerful Chardonnay with generous flavours and a creamy palate."

With the price of good chardonnay ever on the rise, it's become increasingly hard over the last couple of years to find parcels of rewarding chardonnay under the magical $20 barrier. And with flavours of lush peach and fig, and plenty of creamy vanilla on the palate, the Stanrock Reserve offers five star, small batch chardy goodness at quaffer prices.

Generous and super user-friendly, this middle-weight chardonnay is the perfect drop to enjoy as the evenings get colder and is an absolute treat paired with a roast chook. At a compelling $16.99 by the case, this is a seriously rewarding glass of wine at this price point. Go long.

Tasting Notes

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Beautifully styled and expressed, the inviting bouquet shows golden peach, fig, vanillin oak and savoury pastry aromas, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate offering creamy texture and supple mouthfeel. Delightfully balanced and flavoursome with a lengthy satisfying finish."

Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Bright, even, pale yellow with some depth. This has a powerful bouquet packed with gunflint, stonefruit, red apple, cream and a hint of butterscotch. Medium-full bodied, aromas of ripe nectarine, peach and apple entwined with flint, roasted almond and butterscotch. The wine is well-balanced with ripe fruit and juicy acidity. Flinty and nutty elements integrate and enrich the palate. This is a powerful Chardonnay with generous flavours and a creamy palate. Match with monkfish stew and chicken over the next 3-4 years."

The winery writes "Bright, golden-straw coloured chardonnay, enticing ripe stonefruit aromas. Ripe savoury citrus and yellow stone fruits, with grilled nuts and a hint of buttered toast. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with balanced acidity and barrel ferment characters following seamlessly to a dry finish. Brilliant with roasted poultry and pork."
