Everything about wines and spirits from all over the world

Longview Estate Chardonnay 2007



I was in Whangarei (a small town up north from Auckland) two months ago.
On the way back I caught sight a small vineyard.
The following wine is from there.

The name Longview Wine Estate reflects the commanding view that the elevated clay slopes give over Whangarei Harbour.

This wine has a yellow/deep straw colour.
On the nose you can find sweet pear, melon, peach flavours, even some pineapple.
On the palate full of vibrant tastes.
Melon and peach. Hint of spices at the back.
Just like springtime. Everything is moving, full of life.
You could even hear the birds singing...

This wine was matured in French and Hungarian oak barriques.
Brilliant.
Can be cellared for up to 5 years.

NZ$ 25.
