About this product
Vavasour is the founding winery of Marlborough’s smaller, cooler Awatere Valley.
An intimate knowledge of this dramatic southern pocket of Marlborough rewards wine lovers worldwide with wines of extraordinary elegance, perfume and texture. The Vavasour Papa Chardonnay 2019 has a bright straw appearance and a bouquet of stonefruit, brioche, white peach and a dose of flinty complexity. On tasting there is a concentrated balance of stonefruit, creamy acidity and a lingering minerality with some attractive savoury notes. Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years and enjoy with a pork dish or delicate scallops dressed in butter with a hint of garlic

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
