Review
Review for Paritua Stone Paddock Chardonnay 2023:
Cameron Douglas MS
camdouglasms.com
Very bright appearance with golden hues lead to a bouquet of roasted yellow stone fruits, baked apple, flashes of clove and vanilla, some baking spices and toasted wood highlights. On the palate a wine that is ready to drink and enjoy from day of purchase. A medium+ weighted wine with a smooth texture, nice line of acidity and flavours that reflect the bouquet. Balanced and well made.
Additional information
Type: white wine from New Zealand
Varietal: Chardonnay
Food match: Enjoy with Venison, slow cooked beef, eggplant based dishes.
Vineyards: Triangle vineyard, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Soils are stony river gravels
with a silt loam cover. The Chardonnay is planted on the
most western part of the vineyard
clones 95 and 15 are grown on a
standard two cane canopy. Fruit
exposure is limited
to achieve excellent flavour and
phenolics balance.
Winemaking: Several batches of machine harvested
fruit were de-stemmed to press. After a
slowand gentle pressing cycle the juice
was settled and then fermented in
stainless steeltanks at relatively warm
temperatures, to minimize reductive or
flinty notes. About half the wine was
fermented in seasoned oak puncheons.
Paritua use selected yeast strains to create
complexity and depth. The wine is kept
on yeast lees for several months with
regular lees stirring (battonage) to help
develop complexity and richness, before
blending, and filtration.
Cellaring potential: This Chardonnay is a refreshing style
and with time it will grow to a well
rounded wine to be enjoyed now or
cellar up to 2028 or longer.
