Stoneleigh Chardonnay 1999
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandMarlborough chardonnay doesn't rank as high as it should on global wine lists yet most are chock full of fresh fruit, bright acidity and less oak - or exactly the kind of wine chefs and sommeliers tell me they are looking to put on their wine lists. The '99 Stoneleigh chardonnay is predominately fermented in stainless steel where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and extended lees ageing. The result is a soft and creamy style white that is laced with stone fruit flavours and a touch of nuttiness in the finish.Tasted: 01 September 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $15.45 | 750ml |
