Allan Scott Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2018
Description
- Light oak
- Ripe apricot
- Fruit-driven
- Well balanced
Peach and ripe apricot, with light oak. A fruit-forward balanced style with a touch of creaminess.
Hawkes Bay has a long reputation with Chardonnay, and the winemakers at Allan Scott have teamed up with a grape grower to produce a ripe fruit-forward style.
The fruit is harvested then transported to Marlborough. The wine has a long cool fermentation to retain fruit freshness and then is immediately inoculated for Malolactic fermentation. After some time on lees and with minimal lees stirring, about 20% is added to oak for maturation. Designed as an easy-drinking early release Chardonnay with minimal oak.
Food Pairing: One we would share with anything from grilled crispy skin salmon, wood-roasted rotisserie chicken or even a slow-cooked BBQ rolled pork roast or chilled on its own.
