Staete Landt 2006 Marlborough Chardonnay

95 points
An impressive chardonnay with a great concentration of citrus fruit flavours upon which the winemaker has added subtle layers of nutty oak and bready yeast characters. This is the product of low-yielding vines and meticulous winemaking.

Staete Landt 2006 Estate Grown Marlborough Chardonnay

Delicious now, this fragrant, sweet-fruited wine is mouthfilling, peachy and mealy, with hints of butterscotch and toasty oak in a ripe, high-flavoured style with excellent complexity.
