Taylors Pass 2019 Chardonnay Single Vineyard, Villa Maria Estate NZ

96 point - Cameron Douglas, MS: 

"Smoky, earthy and mineral led bouquet. Complex and alluring. A great wine on the palate - dry, layers of spice and fruit, medium+ acidity, weighty and creamy. White peach and lemon, nectarine and red apple. Wood spice and wood smoke. Complex, layered, long."

95 point & Top Rank award - Bob Campbell, MW: 

"Bright, high-energy chardonnay with hazelnut, oyster-shell, biscuit and toast flavours, plus a pleasing savoury edge. A youthful and quite chunky wine."

Jordbunden på Taylors Pass Vineyard er en ypperlig eksponent for en mineraldrevet vinstil. Vinen har komplekse aromaer af citronskal, grapefrugt, hvid fersken, mandel, røg og brioche. Finishen er lang med subtile nuancer af velintegreret eg. En enkeltmarks Chardonnay med stor elegance!

Winestate: 

“Villa Maria has a special place in the New Zealand wine world, and its claim to be New Zealand’s most awarded winery is easy to justify”.
