Blackenbrook Nelson Chardonnay 2020 $26 
Paired with Annabel Langbein’s Gougere – cheesy puffs in the August 5th 2023 NZ Herald
Can’t you just imagine yourself arriving (via Citröen) to your French countryside villa in the afternoon to the smell of these cheesy pastries and the clink of a glass of white Burgundy being handed to you to wash them down? But who needs France when you can replicate the thrill with a single sip of this Nelsonian niceness. Bursting with creamy cashew and roast almond layers overlapping lemon and grilled peach and tied up with a ribbon of grapefruit. Fresh, butter-licked, and in it’s perfect drinking-window now, I could go on, but really, what are you waiting for?
