Description
"An elegantly expressed chardonnay, the inviting bouquet shows white stone fruit, rockmelon, lemon peel and vanilla aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is vibrant and focused. The wine offers pristine fruit flavours combined with delicate oak infusion, making the wine charming and delightful to drink." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit.
A classic, generous Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay, instantly appealing on the nose with nectarine, citrus and vanillin oak and a hint of flinty complexity. The palate is equally flavoursome showing excellent fruit richness, leading to a lingering creamy finish.
Following harvest, the grapes were gently pressed to tank and barrel for fermentation. The juice retained some solids to add depth and richness. It was left on lees and stirred over winter and where a portion went through MLF in the Spring. The wine was then lightly fined and filtered.
Don’t be fooled by his look, Mister is a modern Hawke’s Bay love story. The love of the grape, the land, the adventure and the road that led you there. Slightly left of centre, Mister is as clever as it is curious, as bold as it is beautiful, dapper in dress-sense only and modern to the core. So, banish the kerchief to your back pocket and settle in. Understated, never. Magnificent, always.
