Aromas of grilled pineapple, marshmallow and incredibly ripe nectarine merge with toasted coconut characters along a rich, tropical finish. Nine months maturing in French oak barrels has given the wine a slight ‘bacony’ flavour which I really love, making this little bit of magic from Marlborough deliciously complex and downright yummy (that’s a technical term ok) Former British Airways pilot Geoff Jensen is doing great things here at Omaka Springs and this chardonnay rocks with grouper fillets wrapped in bacon.
