On the nose this is a pure, bright and youthful, citrus-driven chardonnay with complex, smoky, flint, toast and biscuit notes derived from extended barrel aging on full solids. 2017 was a strong year for Chardonnay and delivered vibrant, lively acidity. The palate is focussed and restrained which unfurls on the finish and exposes the intense citrus core with underlying cashew, nutty flavours. “Chardonnay is an underrated variety in Marlborough, but few do it as well there as Dog Point. The 2017 Chardonnay offers up refined aromas of toasted hazelnuts and cashews alongside grilled white peaches and pineapple. A bit brasher in the mouth, it’s medium to full-bodied, concentrated and boldly flavored, finishing with lingering citrus flavors of tangerine and grapefruit.” 92pts The Wine Advocate
