2023 Novum Chardonnay, Marlborough

“This wine is very similar to our 2017 release in its Burgundian-esque style. I really like the prominent oyster shell / saline flavour profile and the obvious linearity of the wine, which can both be attributed to the stoney vineyard soil.” says winemaker William Hoare.

In Appearance : Light lemon/lime colour.
On the Nose : Aromas of white peach, lemon zest and oyster shell minerality.
On the Palate : The minerality is underpinned by fine acid and a tight core that leads you through to a featherweight richness on the back palate. An immediately appealing and enticing wine.
