Two Rivers Clos Des Pierres Marlborough Chardonnay 2024 $27-$32

Crafted from some of the oldest Mendoza-clone vines in Marlborough, this new Chardonnay is deliciously toasty, roasty, packed with golden, ripe peach and edged with fragrant grapefruit and creamy, brulee and oatmeal characters. It’s a Chardonnay that winemaker Dave Clouston can be rightly proud of. Sophisticated, sultry and sliced with vanilla and frangipane, it’s robust and rounded, a chardonnay for all seasons and moods. It’s especially awesome for ‘Game of Thrones’ marathons on chilly nights, or Stranger Things catch-ups on hot ones. It’s also excellent with enormous plates of cheesy gnocchi.
