Emma Marris Chardonnay 2023, Marlborough very bright, taut, and enticing bouquet with scents of fresh grapefruit, red apple, and white stone fruits, followed by a layer of spice and mineral notes of equal intensity that add complexity and intrigue. A dry wine with a satin touch begins the palate journey, with flavours of citrus and apple skin, then stone fruit and a hint of white pineapple. There’s spice and warmth, fine tannins, and plenty of acidity to frame the wine overall. Well made with medium-plus length and complexity. Best enjoyed from 2025 through 2030. A wine to watch.
