2008 Auntsfield Estate Cobb Cottage Chardonnay

Auntsfield cellar was the first of its kind to be built in Marlborough in 1873. It was another 100 years before the first of the new era vines were planted in the region.
Bright pale straw colour with faint greenish tinge on the edges and watery hue. The nose displays lifted top notes of white peach, cashew and toast followed by some spice. Medium to full bodied the palate displays excellent intensity of flavour with white peach, cashew and a touch of citrus followed by some spice and nougat flavours with a light toast overlay. Very good length. Clean dry finish with long aftertaste of white peach, cashew, nougat and spice.
Drink over the next 2-3 years (2010-2013).
