This Mystery Hawke's Bay Chardonnay is a rich barrel fermented wine in the classic style, with the accent on complexity and fruit weight.
The fruit for this wine is sourced from two great vineyards in subregions of Hawke’s Bay. The combination of a temperate climate and free draining stony silt loams make this region a paradise for grape growing. The vineyards are planted in Mendoza and 15 clones and consistently produce concentrated ripe fruit.
The fruit was harvested, pressed and the juice run immediately to French Barriques 20% of which were new. Fermentation occurred in barrel with both wild and cultured yeast to add complexity. The wine remained in barrel for 9 months with regular batonnage to promote texture. Approximately 30% of the barrels went through Malolactic fermentation in spring to enhance mouthfeel and buttery characters.
Food Pairing: Versatile with a wide range of foods, this wine is perfect with seafood, roast chicken or vegetables sautéed in garlic butter.

Full bodied and good value
GAY - 12/03/2022
This wine was good value at the discounted price, but not worth more.
Roger - 24/06/2022
There are several other hb chardonnays at this price point that are better and so i would not reorder this wine. Too high acidity and lacks flavour. A 2021 vintage wine and i think it will be better with some legs
Phil - 06/06/2022
Not a bad chardonnay for the price but prefer the 2019 Selini Kereru for $1/bottle more
john - 31/05/2022
I think it's still a bit young.
