Dunnolly Winemakers Selection Waipara Chardonnay 2019
About the wine
Luscious, world-class Chardonnay -- a rich New Zealand luxury
- This superb Chardonnay specialty comes straight from a famous winemaking family working for you on New Zealand’s South Island. It’s swimming in light fruit flavors like ripe, white nectarine and peach, with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel from just the right touch of French oak.
- Your winemaker Nicky fermented this Chard in a mix of smaller oak barrels and stainless steel to give the wine its unique silkiness and complexity.
- A hot, dry New Zealand summer in 2019 helped tee up this Chardonnay’s wonderfully concentrated flavors, and Nicky was just the winemaker to deliver on that potential... and then some!
Best before
This wine will be great for the next 2-7 years.
Serving advice
Please serve slightly chilled.
Food match
Our Winemaker's Selection Chardonnay will go fabulously with any antipasto platter if you're entertaining. It will also accompany an easy weeknight dinner like garlic roasted chicken with steamed greens and mashed potatoes. Yum!
