Matawhero Church House Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2024

$29.99

Power, precision and price... 

This one is from the long lost Chardonnay land of Gisborne.  The label speaks volumes as does the reviews and gold medal. A nice NZ choice for a fuller bodied Chardonnay. 
"Gorgeously styled and seductively appealing, the wine shows mango, golden peach, hazelnut, and French vanilla aromas on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate offering terrific weight and depth. Wonderfully harmonious and structured with a sustained, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2032" 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025

"Classic bouquet of toasty barrel and baked stone fruits, nut and kitchen spices, a silty clay soil quality and harmonious inviting frame. Full-bodied, firm and dry with flavours and textures of stone fruits and peaches, cashew nut and brazil-nut butter, pear and roasted apple. Bold and expressive, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase 2031" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2025
