17.5-/20 POINTS - Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
The typically fresh aromatics of good quality Hawkes Bay Chardonnay are evident, including citrus, white flowers and stone fruit. These are complemented on the palate by a creamy richness from ageing on lees. Roast hazelnut, almond and hints of gunflint result from the indigenous fermentation in barrel.
