Released two years after the vintage date, Cloudy Bay Chardonnay is delicious in its youth with pure fruit flavours of grapefruit and white peach enhanced by a biscuity, mineral-like complexity, and restrained oak. The style gains richness and depth with careful cellaring, developing gracefully over six to ten years. 2007 tasting notes: An irresistible mix of ripe citrus and toasted nut aromas reminiscent of grapefruit, fig and pistachio biscotti taken with chamomile tea. The palate leads with savoury notes which give way to a taut citrus core, revealing the vibrant Marlborough fruit. 2006 tasting notes: The scent of white flowers and fresh citrus fruits -lemons, limes and grapefruit - all temptingly mingled with the savoury complexity of toasted nuts and oatmeal. The silky palate shows lively citrus flavours and seamlessly integrated spicy French oak. Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2006 depicts the combination of natural yeast fermentation and vibrant Marlborough fruit in a wine that will age
