Description
Another stunning vintage of Chardonnay from Hawke’s Bay, having an elegant nose of fig and nectarine with a toasty brioche aroma that comes from the 12 months aging in French Oak Barriques. A crème-brûlée-like creaminess compliments the abundance of stone fruits. Hazelnuts and a softer caramel lead to a smooth balanced finish.
