{"product_id":"the-boneline-sharkstone-north-canterbury-chardonnay","title":"The Boneline Sharkstone North Canterbury Chardonnay 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sharkstone is The Boneline's serious Chardonnay — classically structured, built for the cellar, and already showing the hallmarks of something genuinely impressive. This is not a wine in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale light gold in the glass, the nose is immediately compelling: sappy fruit, minerality, and restrained oak with a distinctive flinty reduction that speaks to careful winemaking and the limestone-rich soils of Waipara. The palate is intense and full-bodied, with impressive drive and weight — there's a coiled energy here, a sense of concentration waiting to fully unfold. Grainy, chalky phenolics add texture and grip, the finish is long, and the overall structure is built for longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from the Mendoza clone — prized for its small berries, concentrated flavour, and affinity with oak — this is a Chardonnay for those who appreciate the variety at its most serious. Give it a year or two in the cellar and it will be quite something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePan-seared blue cod, roast chicken with cream sauce, lobster bisque, or a rich soft-rind cheese. The structure and intensity demand food with equal presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginny's NZ","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45075307102261,"sku":"SQ3153458","price":55.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 PK","offer_id":45075307135029,"sku":"WAG0162","price":310.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 PK","offer_id":45075307167797,"sku":"WAG0163","price":589.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/6508\/5749\/files\/Boneline_Bottle_Shots_202411.webp?v=1770280491","url":"https:\/\/ginnys.nz\/products\/the-boneline-sharkstone-north-canterbury-chardonnay","provider":"Ginny's NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
