White Burgundy's New Competition: NZ Chardonnay
Most of us know New Zealand for Sauvignon Blanc, but the Chardonnay competes with White Burgundy. What's more is it fits a tight wine budget nicely.
The wine in this video is from Wine Folly Club!
Wines Mentioned
Auntsfield Estate
2020 Single Vineyard Chardonnay
Marlborough | New Zealand
Quiet intensity best describes Auntsfield's 'other' white variety. While Sauvignon Blanc has garnered international acclaim, Chardonnay continues to grow in notoriety with an evolving style that has just the right amount of fruit, acid, and oak. A very well balanced Chardonnay fit for many palates.
Ripe and intense stone fruit flavors of peach and dried apricot complimented by hints of roasted hazelnut. A tight and linear palate with underlying minerality concludes with seamless length.
