Abel Tasman Chardonnay 2020 75cla

Tasting Note

Peach, pineapple and lemon zest, and a touch of reduction on the nose. The palate displays a flinty minerality, bright citrus and a gentle nuttiness. Beautiful structure with crisp acidity and a rounded, lees-driven texture.

Producer

Sophie and Mark McGill grew up in the heart of the New Zealand wine industry. Sophie’s parents, James & Wendy Healy were at Cloudy Bay before setting up Dog Point Vineyard in Marlborough. Mark’s father Linton worked for many decades as a viticulturist throughout New Zealand before establishing his own vineyard in the Wairarapa in the early 90’s. Having grown up on and around vineyards it was a natural transition for them both to work in the industry themselves. They travelled, worked in hospitality and worked several vintages abroad before starting Abel in Nelson in 2015
