Paddy Borthwick Chardonnay 2025, Wairarapa

A lovely wine, calm and measured with flavours of pear and white peach then grapefruit pith and a fine lees mineral seam. There’s also a gunflint leesy quality enhanced by the acid line and youthful power. Dry with a satin mouthfeel and fresh unroasted nut quality. A lovely wine that needs a little more settling time in your cellar with best drinking from 2027 through 2031+.
