The Palliser Estate Chardonnay 2020 is an absolutely delicious Chardonnay that showcases some of the incredible wine New Zealand has to offer. On the nose, there are notes of nectarine, hazelnut and vanilla. It hints at the oak contact this wine has had which shines on the palate. The taste of this wine is creamy and deliciously rounded. It has notes of biscuit and nutty notes along with peach, all coming together into a beautifully complex yet balanced Chardonnay. A nice long, lush finish with the perfect amount of acidity rounds this wine up. Honestly, it’s a taste sensation, and a wine I could keep coming back to for sure.
