Note de dégustation

Grand charmeur, ce chardonnay montre que le sauvignon blanc n'est pas le seul vin que sait produire la Nouvelle-Zélande. Saveurs de pomme, de melon et de citron agrémentées d'un boisé judicieux. Un bel exemple des chardonnays de climat frais qui connaissent tant de succès ces temps-ci. ,,Les huîtres font un accord naturel, mais essayez-le aussi avec le poisson poêlé ou les côtelettes de porc grillées.,,,

Robe arborant une couleur jaune-vert. Nez assez puissant exhalant des notes fruitées, végétales et florales. Découvrez ce blanc possédant une bonne vivacité. En rétro olfaction, il rappelle des saveurs d'agrumes, de banane et de pamplemousse. Sa texture ample précède une finale persistante.

Note de dégustation (anglais)

A rich, structured Chardonnay with concentrated aromas and pure, incisive fruit flavours of ripe citrus and stone fruit, balanced with subtle oak and a creamy texture on the finish.

Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay truly captures the character of Marlborough with pure, incisive, ripe fruit flavors. A combination of barrel and tank fermentation and the stirring of lees on oak, achieves maximum softness and integration. To retain all the natural assertiveness and flavor, no malolactic fermentation takes place. Clonal influences in the vineyard have been very important, providing smaller berries and enhanced flavor intensity. The result of all of this is a delicious Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay with concentrated aromas and flavors of ripe citrus and stonefruit, balanced with subtle oak, and a creamy texture to finish.

JANUARY 2014 Insider Pick from Kim Giesbrecht, Portfolio Manager for Wines of Australia, New Zealand, Beer, and Refreshment Beverages: "New Zealand offers more than Sauvignon Blanc. A real crowd pleaser with great balance and a great price! " Also featured in Taste Magazine, Spring 2013: Subtly oaky, this classic Chardonnay features solid fruit character. Its fragrant, white peach aromas on the nose are followed by tastes of zesty citrus, vibrant green apple and a nice creaminess from some lees stirring.
