Hawkes Bay Chardonnay

The 2024 vintage was a classic Hawkes Bay growing season; a warm, dry settled summer, followed by a gentle Autumn, which was a bonus after the interesting 2023. The aim is to produce a wine that speaks of Chardonnay. It is a youthful wine, evenly structured with emphasis on a fresh, food-friendly style and balanced palate. Stone-fruit and citrus on the nose and palate with texture, character, freshness and a line of acidity through the palate. This wine is ready to drink on release and will continue to develop and fill out for 4 6 years.
