Giesen Uncharted Chardonnay Magnum 2020

Experience the meticulous craftsmanship behind the Giesen Uncharted wine, where every detail is carefully considered to create a truly exceptional expression. Hand-harvested from select vineyards in the Wairau and Southern Valleys, this Chardonnay showcases the distinctive terroir of these subregions, with heavier soils imparting texture and subtle flint notes. Barrel fermented in 300L French oak hogsheads at a warmer temperature, this wine develops a beautifully nuanced texture. A portion undergoes malolactic fermentation, enhancing richness and roundness while preserving the wine's fresh acidity. Maturation in French and German oak barrels, including a touch of new oak, adds a subtle complexity, allowing the fruit to shine. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of white peach, lemon, toasted hazelnut, and flint, while the palate delights with rich, concentrated flavours of ripe lemon, peach, and a refreshing grapefruit finish. Revel in the journey of flavour and craftsmanship with each sip of this beautiful Uncharted Chardonnay.
