Mt Difficulty Central Otago Chardonnay 2008
check out our video review

This Chardonnay is all about concentration and complexity, with predominant stone fruit and pineapple backed up with a lovely minerality. The palate displays lovely ripe peach characters, moving into a mid palate with an excellent creamy texture and weight from extended lees contact and barrel ageing. The natural acidity provides a backbone which the fruit flows through.

Drink now-2013. Match with roast chicken.

    Superb example of unoaked Chardonnay. Less austere and richer than most unoaked Chardonnays I have tried. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Just bought another half case of the 2007. Very good with roast fowl and anything buttery.
