Product Information

Escarpment Chard Kupe 09

$53.95 750 MLS

The Kupe Chardonnay (19.0-/20) was a light pink gold colour, with licorice and nougat on the nose, and satisfying mealiness on the palate, giving way to fresh acidity of mandarin and orange zest. There was even a hint of umami, making this I think one of the most food-friendly chardonnays I’ve tasted in a while. (Having tried a reasonable example of Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 2006 two days prior, the image was fresh in my mind and Kupe compares very favourably to that – better really.)
