Oyster Bay Chardonnay 2016, Marlborough, New Zealand: A crisp, fresh New Zealand Chardonnay with bright notes of green apple and white peach. A subtle weave of oak comes from the fact that half of this wine is aged in oak barrels and the other half in stainless steel tank to preserve fruit freshness. Pair with roast chicken.
