Ata Rangi Petrie Chardonnay (Wairarapa) 2008 $27 ****1/2
A lovely, clean chardonnay that in addition to hints of nutmeg, grapefruit pith and shortbread on the nose, has juicy stonefruit flavours, bracing acidity and minerality on the palate and a slippery-smooth nutty finish. If you’re a scallop wrapped in bacon I’d be very afraid…
