Chardonnay

2008 Marlborough Chardonnay

The Foxes Island by John Belsham Chardonnay from the 2008 vintage hails from the renowned Marlborough region, celebrated for its exceptional white wines. This elegant Chardonnay showcases a beautiful pale straw color, inviting a deep exploration of its enticing aromas and flavors. With a medium body that offers a harmonious balance between richness and freshness, this wine delights with its vibrant acidity, enhancing the overall mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and subtle notes of oak, which add complexity without overwhelming the palate. The dryness of this wine perfectly complements its vivacious character, making it a delightful choice for seafood dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
