Bostock Vicki's Vineyard Chardonnay 2019
Case Buys Only | 6 x 750ml
Bostock Vicki's Vineyard Chardonnay is a powerful yet polished Hawke's Bay Chardonnay with ripe peach and nectarine, struck flint, roasted nuts, ginger and finely integrated oak. Hand picked from Vicki's Vineyard in the Bridge Pa Triangle, it combines richness and intensity with impressive balance and subtlety.
What the winery says:
A classic Hawke's Bay Chardonnay with attractive spiced oak and roasted nut notes which complement the summer fruit aromatics that our region is widely known for. The wine unfolds gracefully to bring joy to all occasions. The grapes were hand harvested and cooled overnight before gentle whole bunch pressing. The juice was transferred to French oak barrels, 43% new, for indigenous fermentation with periodic lees stirring. After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine rested on its yeast lees for 10 months before light fining and filtration.
What the experts say:
Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, 95/100 & Top Rank (2019 Vintage)
"Ripe, luscious chardonnay with peach, nectarine, struck-flint, almond, ginger and nutty yeast lee flavours. An intense wine that delivers power with great subtlety. Clearly the product of a very good vintage."
