Information about "Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay 2023"
The Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay is an impressive wine with a solid backbone and an incredibly long and lingering palate. Nuances of pineapple, white pear and finely roasted hazelnuts give a lively and long lasting mouthfeel. The sovereign wooding in selected oak barrels contributes to the remarkable complexity, creaminess and structure, which ensures excellent ageing potential and will unfold nutty nuances in the wine over time.
