Herringbone Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2023

Description

Nougat, Oak, Peach

"Complex and enticing, the bouquet shows summer peach, rockmelon, nougat and hazelnut aromas with a hint of brioche. The palate displays lovely concentration and richly textured mouthfeel, wonderfully supported by creamy texture and bright acidity, finishing splendidly long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2024

Pineapple and citrus aromas with hints of toasty oak, the wine is creamy on the palate with a beautiful richness of fruit flavours and oak influence.

Our 2023 Chardonnay was crafted from organic, hand harvested fruit from the Oak Estate vineyard located just over the fence from us.

It was whole bunch pressed and fermented in oak to create a rich and supple Chardonnay. Aged in French oak for 10 months prior to bottling the finished wine exhibits a fine balance between fruit flavours and subtle oak toastiness which is velvety and smooth on the palate.

Food Pairing: Chardonnay is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods due to its moderate acidity and rich flavours. Try roast chicken, pulled pork or wood fire pizza.
