Flaxmore Chardonnay 2020, Moutere, Nelson

Classic bouquet of baked nectarine and pear flesh, vanilla and toasty barrel, peach and baked custard. Youthful, new and ripe. Weighty on the palate with a cream and satin texture, contrasting acid line and sweetness of barrel with tannins adding texture and power. Still developing, a wine worth cellaring through 2023 with good drinking from late 2023 through 2028+.
