Isabel Wild Barrique Chardonnay 2024 (6 Bottles) Marlborough, NZ

Isabel Estate Wild Barrique Chardonnay 2023, Isabel Estate, Marlborough. This is a seriously sophisticated barrel-fermented Chardonnay from New Zealand's Marlborough, wild yeast magic delivers explosive brioche, citrus melon and ripe fig aromas laced with vanilla pod, flinty reduction and white stone fruit that absolutely leaps from the glass. The Isabel Wild Barrique Chardonnay 2023 seduces with seamless power and texture on the palate, creamy nectarine richness, mealy complexity and taut French oak structure drive through to a long, spice-threaded finish that's got serious class and cellaring grunt.
