2022 Lake Road Reserve Chardonnay Gisborne

92 POINTS

Cameron Douglas MS

Ripe, fruity, varietal and enticing bouquet with aromas of buttered peach and baked apple, fresh and roasted cashew nut, burnt butter, nectarine and barrel spices. Near full-bodied as the wine touches the palate, flavours mirror the bouquet with medium acidity, a satin cream mouthfeel and fine tannins. Well made, dry and ready for drinking from 2023 through 2028

Beautifully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate displays lovely weight and rounded mouthfeel, splendidly supported by creamy texture and juicy acidity, making it flavoursome and immediately appealing.
