What the winery says about the Villa Maria Barrique Fermented Chardonnay 2009

Styled to capture the regional essence of Gisborne with lifted citrus blossom aromas and hints of tropical fruits. The palate is richly textured with a creamy cashew mid- palate flavour, finishing with flinty minerality and refinement. This wine is well-integrated and appealing for enjoyment now, but will continue to evolve over the next 4-5 years, developing further complexity
