Overview:
Greywacke Chardonnay Archive Release 2016 showcases the rewards of patience, offering a beautifully evolved expression of Marlborough Chardonnay. Complex and deeply layered, it marries ripe citrus and stonefruit richness with savoury, nutty depth and a flinty mineral backbone. A wine of both concentration and elegance, it reflects the craftsmanship and low-intervention style of the Judd family.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of pink grapefruit, burnt orange and nectarine intertwine with savoury notes of smoked almonds, hazelnut meringue and freshly cut hay. The mealy savouriness carries through to a rich, textural palate, underpinned by a bone-dry style, flinty complexity and a tight, citrus-driven finish.
