Two Rivers Clos de Pierres Chardonnay 2019, Marlborough, New Zealand

Regular price £22.95

Two Rivers’ mission is to harness Marlborough’s intense fruit flavours, while producing elegant wines with purity and a sense of place. The grapes are grown on the clay soils of our high density planted, Brookby Hill Vineyard in the Southern Valleys sub region of Marlborough – Together with several key sites across Marlborough’s two main valleys. This is their 100% Chardonnay that has been grown in their Hawkesbridge & The Spring vineyards. Grapes were lightly pressed and the juice naturally fermented. The wine was then aged for 8 months in a mixture of French oak barriques and cuvees. Full malolactic fermentation occurred.

Bright lemon in colour, the bouquet offers aromas of toasted almonds, ripe citrus, and a touch of sea spray. On the palate the wine is bright and focused, opening up to layers of stone fruit and lemon curd, over toasted oak and vanilla bean. The artisan winemaking approach has resulted in a classic and elegantly textured chardonnay, with beautiful balance, and a long, pure finish.
