| Wine Description |
Dashwood Chardonnay 2006
100% Wairau Valley, Marlborough, NZ |
| Tasting Notes |
|
This elegantly styled Chardonnay has a long, softly structured palate, and is ready to drink now. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
A warm and dry season has produced fully ripened fruit showing bright fruit flavours carefully balanced with a portion aged in French oak barriques. Around 90% of the wine was allowed to complete malolactic fermentation, resulting in a rich creamy palate and soft acicity. |
| Viticulture Notes |
|
The 2006 season provided a warm, dry summer and autumn, which allowed an extended ripening period for the Chardonnay. The 2006 vintage produced wines with good flavour concentration and structure, due to the smaller crops. |
