2019 Felton Road Block 6 Chardonnay
Tasting: The 2019 Felton Road Block 6 Chardonnay from Central Otago, priced at $80, is a distinguished and expressive wine. It presents a pale gold color with a hint of green. The nose is intricate and inviting, featuring aromas of lemon zest and grapefruit, intertwined with white peach, nectarine, and a touch of tropical pineapple. Subtle oak influences add layers of vanilla, hazelnut, and a delicate smokiness. On the palate, this Chardonnay is well-balanced and refined, with a refreshing acidity that highlights the purity of the fruit flavors. The creamy texture, resulting from lees stirring, melds seamlessly with the wine’s mineral undertones and a gentle oak spice. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of citrus, stone fruits, and a subtle hint of toast. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, roasted poultry, and creamy pasta dishes, and it has the potential to develop further complexity over the next 5-7 years.
