Matchbook OLD HEAD Chardonnay 2022

ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN CHARDONNAYS WE HAVE TASTED IN THIS PRICE BAND

91/100 | Tonya Pitts, Wine Enthusiast

Fans of bold, mouthfilling Californian Chardonnay, it's time to focus. Matchbook 2022 from the Dunnigan Hills sub region is an exciting release to hit the New Zealand market and in our view, it is clearly the best of the USA Chardonnays we have seen in this price bracket in recent years.

Dry to taste and overflowing with ripe stonefruit, lemon crème brûlée, sizzled butter and toasty oak flavours, this is everything you can ask for in American Chardonnay and seeing wine of this calibre in the sub$25 bracket is a massive win for local fans of robust Chardonnay.

Thankfully Matchbook sidesteps the sweeter fruit characters of some of the market leaders in this category and has been handled with respect in the winery. Buy with our highest recommendation.
