Mystery Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2022 (02)

Description

• Ripe stone fruit
• Fresh citrus
• Lifted aromas
• Concentrated

Mid straw colour in the glass. Lifted aromatics of citrus, tropical fruits and stone fruits. The palate has great fruit concentration and texture. Stone fruit notes are balanced by fresh citrus characters.

Despite challenging weather conditions in was a stunning year for Hawke's Bay early in the season, the 2022 fruit was harvested in great conditions.

After moderate clarification the juice was fermented with a minimum temperature of 14 degrees. The wines remained on primary yeast lees until racking and blending, during which time they underwent secondary malolactic fermentation.

Food Pairing: Hints of butterscotch and great length of flavour make it a delicious pairing with camembert cheese, pan seared salmon or other white meat dishes.
