Our 2022 Selection Chardonnay is another stunner. Picked on the 22nd and 28th of February. The grapes were pressed and the juice was cold settled, we then transferred it to both large format and traditional sized premium French barrels where it fermented. It then aged in these barrels for a year.
The nose is filled with brioche, peach, citrus floral notes, with hints of toasted nuts and spice. On the palate the wine is seamless with spicy vanilla and toasty oak, citrus and stone fruit, oyster shell and gouda crystals with these many different flavours flowing nicely together. All the hallmarks of an ultra-premium Chardonnay are present – the fruit, oak and MLF flavours coalesce together nicely. Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay at its absolute pinnacle for what is arguably a very low price for this kind of quality. Get in now before the boss decides to put the price up!
