2016 Jules Taylor Chardonnay Marlborough

Winemaker Notes:

Inviting aromas offer an abundance of ripe stonefruits layered with rich tones of toasty vanilla and caramel butterscotch with a mealy touch. Juicy stonefruit and tropical flavors are combined with mealy, creamy layers all warmed with French oak. Partial wild and malolactic fermentations along with extended lees maturation in barrel have added extra complexity and texture to the wine.

The palate is stunningly smooth and plump with a gentle balance and bright acidity infusing with the wine’s mealy characters. With the nectarine, honeycomb and hints of lime, it’s scrumptiously rich and complex with a graceful character and beautiful length.
