Highfield Estate Chardonnay 2009

Marlborough, New Zealand

Aromas of grannysmith apple, peach, grapefruit and citrus combine with subtle spicy oak, brioche and biscuit characters. The palate is fine and elegant with some creamy, browned butter flavours and layers of nectarine and lime. Subtle smokiness and toasted almond flavours round off the palate with a little chalk and minerality. The wine is well focused and finishes smoothly.

Food Suggestions
Well suited to cream based dishes and smoked seafood.
