Matawhero 'Church House' Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2025, Gisborne

Hues of yellow and polished gold lead to a bouquet of fresh and yellow stone fruits, a sweet grapefruit peel and red apple with a seam of baking spice and nut, then a clay soil idea. On the palate a satin cream weighty texture touches first followed by flavours of stone and orchard fruits then spice and a gentle warmth from the alcohol. Plenty of acidity to offer contrast and mouthfeel along with a tickle of tannins from fruit and wood. Balanced and well made with complexity and charm, ready to drink from late 2026 through 2029+.
