Marlborough Chardonnay

2008 Marlborough Chardonnay

The Flying Kiwi Marlborough Chardonnay from the 2008 vintage is a remarkable expression of this iconic New Zealand region. This white wine showcases a medium body, offering a delightful balance of richness and freshness. Its vibrant acidity lends a bright and lively character, making it refreshing on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of ripe citrus and stone fruits, complemented by subtle hints of oak that enhance its complexity without overpowering the fruit. With a dry profile and a smooth finish, this Chardonnay is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted wine that embodies the essence of Marlborough's terroir.

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.
