Corofin Meltwater Marlborough Chardonnay 2019 (6 Bottles), Marlborough NZ

This is absolutely outstanding and superb value. Indigenous yeast fermentation; 75% went into two-three year old French oak barrels and the balance to a stainless steel barrel. A rather hedonistic nose suggests ripe pears, fresh peach and oatmeal while the palate is taught and chalky with nectarine, pear and iodine notes and a driven freshness.
