Chardonnay 2002

Felton Road, tasting note (feltonroad.com – produktside feltonroad.com, hentet 2026-10-19): 2002 Felton Road Chardonnay – område: Bannockburn (Central Otago); drue: Chardonnay. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vintage & vinification: The warm and dry autumn combined with careful canopy management has produced grapes with intense ripe flavours. Fermented entirely in stainless steel (to preserve the primary fruit flavours), with indigenous (or “wild”) yeasts. Ageing on yeast lees and malolactic fermentation has produced a wine with complex aromas and flavours and considerable mouthfeel. The wine expresses fruit aromas from the unique Bannockburn “Terroir” and complex leesy/minerally characters. Bouquet & Palate Aromas of ripe stonefruit, toasted nuts and butterscotch. Completely stainless steel tank fermented this wine expresses pure Chardonnay fruit without any oak influence. A complex flavour giving excellent mouthfeel and length. A delicious summer drinking Chardonnay. Cellaring Drinking superbly as a youthful fresh Chardonnay but will continue to develop over the next few years.
