From Kim Crawford Wines in New Zealand's Marlborough region, the Chardonnay 2022 is a fresh 100% Chardonnay sourced from premium vineyards on free-draining, stony soils that benefit from maritime breezes and intense sunlight. Hand-harvested grapes undergo cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve bright fruit character, with no oak influence to emphasize pure varietal expression and sustainability. This approach yields a pale straw wine with green highlights and inviting approachability.
Tasting Notes A vibrant, unoaked white with ripe pear and tropical freshness, reflecting Marlborough's cool-climate elegance. The nose reveals ripe pears, tropical fruits like guava and melon, and hints of citrus and light musk. On the palate, it is light-bodied and juicy, with vibrant acidity, soft textures, and flavors of lightly buttered pear, stone fruit, and a touch of tropical zest, leading to a clean, refreshing finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Chardonnay earned 88 points from Wine Enthusiast for its ripe fruit and easy-drinking style, and Gold from the Melbourne International Beverage Competition for its balanced freshness.
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to maintain its vibrancy. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, poultry, or light salads. Enjoy now through 2028, during which it will develop subtle honeyed notes.
