Description

Gold Medal Drinks Business Global Chardonnay Masters 2024 - Gold Medal National Wine Awards of Aotearoa 2024 – 5 Stars Cuisine + a hefty and well deserved 95/100 Fine Wine Delivery Tasting Panel. Church Road McDonald Series is dedicated to the late great Tom McDonald, a pioneer of the NZ wine scene. He would certainly be proud to have his name attached to this beguiling Chardonnay. One of the oldest wineries in New Zealand, which saw Tom McDonald's passion for wine create an amazing legacy and enviable future for Hawkes Bay and Church Road Winery. Long serving Church Road Winemaker Chris Scott presided over the making of this 2023 McDonald Series Chardonnay with fruit from their finest vineyards in the Tuki Tuki River Valley. Beautifully oaked with a creamy texture and an abundance of ripe fruit… generosity & elegance crisscrossing your palate.

Smells

A heady mix of peaches and citrus, layered with smoky hazelnuts, subtle toast and flinty aromas.

Tastes

Complex and elegant, a concentration of ripe peach & nectarine dominates, laced with subtle savoury toasty/smoky oak. The creamy lees influenced texture is beautifully contrasted by luscious, citrus infused acidity giving the palate poise and length. Suit many vegetarian dishes… and perfect with roast pork & poultry. Enjoy now and over the next 2-3 years.

We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
