Those in the know (and with discerning palates), know that Marlborough has much more to offer than its famous sauv blanc. All that sun that ripens sauv does wonders for chardonnay in the region and the result is ripper wines. In this example, you get intense, complex aromas of fig, almond, peach and vanilla followed by more peach and some citrus on the palate with a creamy mouthfeel. This is vibrant, driving stuff that easily supports the oak in which it was matured.
What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
