A bold, full-bodied Chardonnay that embraces richness and indulgence, the 2022 Coopers Creek Big & Buttery Chardonnay is a true celebration of the classic, opulent style.
Sourced from premium Gisborne fruit, this wine was fermented in French oak barrels and underwent full malolactic fermentation, delivering the signature buttery texture that makes this style so irresistible. Aged for nine months in barrel, it presents a pale gold hue on release, which will deepen beautifully over time.
Bouquet: The nose is rich and expressive, with enticing aromas of stone fruit, melon, and pineapple, complemented by layers of buttered popcorn, vanilla oak, and a hint of butterscotch.
Palate: Lush and opulent, yet balanced with elegance and finesse, this Chardonnay is creamy and weighty, offering an explosion of grilled peach, ripe tropical fruit, and toasted cedar. The well-pitched acidity keeps everything fresh, leading to a long, generous, and utterly delicious finish.
Food Pairing: Perfect for those who love a big, buttery Chardonnay, this wine pairs beautifully with creamy pasta dishes, roast chicken, grilled seafood, or even a classic buttery popcorn moment. Chill it down, pour a generous glass, and relive the golden age of Chardonnay!
