Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Marlborough's reputation rests almost entirely on Sauvignon Blanc, which has rather obscured the fact that it makes very good Chardonnay — the same cool nights that keep Sauvignon vivid give Chardonnay a taut, linear shape. White peach and citrus with green apple, cashew and a fine creamy texture from barrel fermentation and lees work. Medium-bodied and dry, with high acidity and restrained oak. Precise rather than rich, and it ages better than most people expect.
