2005 Opou Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L

2005 Opou Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L


Opulent chardonnay, made with all the trappings, and now glowing with bottle maturity. The malolactic fermentation has given the wine softness and subtle palate weight whilst maintaining freshness.
Chardonnay grown on the rich silt - clay soils of the Poverty Bay valley gives the wine a soft, warm mouth filling character. The prolonged elevage has contributed fragrance of fresh bread and nougat. The almond and acacia honey notes have intensified with time, with the well-integrated fruit tannins providing excellent length. Closed with a high quality natural cork.
