Details
Skilled winemaker Belinda Gould is crafting a fine range of flavoursome, characterful wines at Muddy Water in Waipara, North Canterbury. From their Grower's Series, this Chardonnay is produced from fruit sourced from a site near the township of Waipara that is currently undergoing transition to organic certification. Complex and aromatic in the glass, the nose of this wine shows fine-fruit characters with significant oak influence. The palate is creamy and deliciously smooth, featuring those fine fruit flavours again; stonefruit and grilled nuts, along with plenty of quality oak influence, which should, with time, integrate more subtly. There is good concentration on the palate and really satisfying depth of flavour. Although still youthful at this time, this is quality wine that will reward lovers of ripe, creamy chardonnays with its finesse and complexity.
