Te Mata Estate Chardonnay Estate Vineyards 2022

Vibrant white-gold, Estate Chardonnay ’22 dazzles with bright lemon blossom and concentrated white peach. On the palate, all the ripe Hawke’s Bay stone fruit on offer softens to mascarpone and macadamia, with barrel-ferment notes of toast, biscuit and woodsmoke. The lingering finish of Estate Chardonnay ’22 is fine and dry, marrying the wine’s fresh fruit acidity with just a flick of salinity – the lasting perfume of a perfect Hawke’s Bay summer.

Te Mata Estate owned vineyards in Hawkes Bay from the folloiwng sub-regions - Gimblett Gravels, Bridge Pa Triangle, Dartmoor Valley and Havelock Hills.

The grapes for Estate Chardonnay ’22 were harvested between 20 February and 12 March 2022 from Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards in the Woodthorpe Terraces, Bridge Pa Triangle and Havelock Hills sub-regions of Hawke’s Bay.

Estate Chardonnay ’22 will continue to evolve in bottle for two to four years from harvest.
