Lot 14 – 2023 Mission Barrel Aged Chardonnay
56 litres / 72 bottles
Description
Auction Lot Details
This special Chardonnay was blended from the best barrels from three blocks: Greenmeadows, Maraekakaho and the Ngatarawa Triangle.
The fruit is off low-cropping Clone 15 and Mendoza vines that vary between 15 and 20 years of age.
The aromas are complex and sweet, showing ripe stone-fruit and brioche. The palate is rich with well-integrated French oak providing fullness and structure that leads to a long, clean finish.
