Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay 750ml
Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay is produced in New Zealand's Marlborough region, a cool-climate wine area more famous for Sauvignon Blanc but equally suited to Chardonnay. A combination of barrel and tank fermentation, extended lees stirring, and partial malolactic fermentation is used to build softness, texture, and integration, while careful clonal selection in the vineyard delivers smaller berries and more concentrated flavor.
Bottled at 13% ABV, the wine brings intensely fruity aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and nectarine layered with subtle citrus and a touch of creamy vanilla. The palate delivers zesty citrus, juicy stone fruit, and hints of sweet oak, balanced by crisp acidity and a rounded, creamy texture, finishing with lingering lime zest and a nougat-like richness.
Earning a 91-point score and consistently strong reviews from Wine Enthusiast across multiple vintages, Oyster Bay Chardonnay pairs beautifully with shellfish, roast chicken, and creamy pasta dishes, making it a reliable, food-friendly white for both everyday drinking and entertaining.
