Toi Toi Reserve Chardonnay 2012

West Auckland, Auckland, North Island, New ZealandFull and rich in Auckland's typical weightier style, this was pressed into stainless steel tanks to preserve as much crisp fruit as possible, before a fermentation into new and seasoned French oak barriques and ample battonage prior to a dip back into stainless prior to bottling. Cream, eraser and stone rule, with a sweet pea / sweet pear base and a tight tingle of lemon peel acidity to cut through the wood and spiced toastiness. A massive wine that could stand up to the richest of proteins handily.Tasted: 08 June 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
