Odyssey Reserve Iliad Chardonnay 2024

Odyssey Reserve Iliad Chardonnay 2024

• Region: Marlborough
• Sub-Region: Southern Valleys

Vineyard The "Iliad" is the flagship reserve selection from Odyssey’s finest parcels of fruit. Grown on established hillside vines, the fruit is selected for its structural power and ability to undergo extended barrel maturation.

Wine A powerful, complex, and unashamedly bold Chardonnay. Fermented in French oak with wild yeasts, it displays intense layers of grilled nectarine, roasted cashews, and a distinctive flinty reduction. It is a full-bodied wine with great aging potential.
