Mission Codename Kiwi Delight
Today’s delicious Farmer’s Market Wine Co. 2011 Gisborne Chardonnay was crafted with one goal in mind: letting the incredible quality of the fruit shine through. We’d say legendary winemaker Nick Goldschimdt accomplished this task in fine fashion, crafting a white wine of incredible elegance and class.
The climate in Gisborne, New Zealand is on the cooler side, which lends strong aromatics and great structure to today’s wine. Pale gold in color, today’s wine has inviting notes of white fruit paired with a lovely grassy earthiness that we, truthfully, just couldn’t get enough of.
Please enjoy our fullest recommendation on today’s Kiwi treat.
