Nuy Mastery Chardonnay 2020

The Nuy Mastery Chardonnay 2020 is an easy-drinking and interesting Chardonnay. The first thing that came to mind when I had this Chardonnay was that it positions itself well in the middle of the continuum of unwooded and wooded Chardonnays. It has been wooded in French and American oak barrels but it retained a crisp taste with less secondary notes of wood maturation. This makes this the ideal wine to try for both wooded and unwooded Chardonnay lovers.


This wine has a soft entry with notes of lime and lemon. It develops quickly on the middle palate with hints of flowers and freshly baked bread (from the wood maturation). It has a fresh finish and does not come across as very complex. I am curious to see what this wine will do with some bottle maturation over the next 6-10 years.
