Dog Point Chardonnay 2021, Marlborough, NZD $45
Intense chardonnay with lemon curd, oyster shell, ginger, struck flint, and attractively integrated spicy oak flavours. Youthful wine with bright, juicy acidity that brings energy while driving a lengthy finish. Classy chardonnay. Should develop well with bottle age. (Screwcap)
