Cool, crisp, refreshing but apart from a slightly clean initial taste, I don't see it being that spectacular and pretty much run of the mill Chardonnay. Its ok but fairly standard.

Crisp, zesty white with citrus and apples flavours. Smoky backdrop of oak flavours, perhaps overwhelming the freshness of the wine.

This wine does not have enough acid, making it taste flat. It has a bitter finish that demotes it from mediocre to unpleasant. Avoid

Sparkling, semi-sweet wine, great with Oysters!

The nose is filled with attractive toasty oak aromas mixes with a touch of butter. Medium bodied and fruit forward with a creamy texture; the palate shows tangy fruit and just the right amount of acidity that balances well with the oak.

An easy-drinking Chardonnay from New Zealand. Clean and fruit driven on the palate with yellow apple fruit aromas.

Winemaker's Notes: The philosophy of Oyster Bay is to produce fi ne, distinctively regional wines that are elegant and assertive with glorious fruit fl avours. Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay truly captures the character of Marlborough with pure, incisive, ripe fruit fl avours. A combination of barrel and tank fermentation and the stirring of yeast lees achieves maximum softness, integration and texture. To retain all the natural assertiveness and fl avour, no malolactic fermentation takes place. Clonal infl uences in the vineyard have been very important, providing smaller berries and enhanced fl avour intensity. The result of all of this is delicious Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay with concentrated aromas and fl avours of ripe citrus and stonefruit, balanced with subtle oak, and a creamy texture to fi nish. A sublime expression of fruit purity from Marlborough’s unique cool climate and soils. Bright citrus with hints of stonefruit, stunning fruit concentration accentuated with a creamy texture and sublime zesty lime undertones.
