The Boneline Sharkstone North Canterbury Chardonnay 2022
Pale light gold in colour, this wine features a Mendoza-clone nose with sappy fruit, minerality, and oak influences, complemented by flinty reduction. The palate is intense and full-bodied, exhibiting impressive drive, weight, and coiled energy waiting to unfold. With a year or two of aging, it promises to be quite impressive. The wine shows grainy, chalky phenolics, a long finish, and a hint of heat at the back, with excellent concentration and intensity. Classically structured, it balances oak and sappy fruit for longevity.
Intense - Concentrated - Structured - Impressive
