Church Rd Chard Tom 06

$71.05 750 MLS
Church Road is no stranger to success with Chardonnay, its track record of multi gold medals and trophies for the Reserve Chardonnay over the past several vintages the envy of many other producers. It is one of this country’s top Chardonnays and one of the most popular with wine lovers, its rich and generous style being quite hedonistic. The 2006 ‘Tom’ Chardonnay came from the recognition of some outstanding parcels of fruit from the warmer inland Korokipo and Omaranui vineyards, identified by winemaker Chris Scott and his team, as being worthy of special management. Employing similar, but stricter vinification techniques as with the Church Road Reserve Chardonnay of hand harvesting, whole bunch pressing, the selection of only the first portion of free-run juice and indigenous yeasts, the wine was fermented and aged 14 months in 40% new French barriques resulting in a wine at 14.5% alc. Only 170 cases were produced. Light straw yellow in colour, with golden hues, the wine is tight and brooding on the nose with intense mealy, nutty fruit and savoury-spicy oak lift. It is a wine of real power, filling the mouth with rich and complex, citrus and mealy flavours, balanced by excellent acidity providing a tension and liveliness. It should cellar well over the next 5-7 years.  19.5-/20  RC Nov 09
