Pask Gimblett Gravels Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2021

Description

• French oak
• Baked apple
• Zesty citrus
• Mouth-filling

Ethereal aromatic notes of warm baked apple crumble and lifted zesty citrus. Creamy and mouth filling on the palate with flavours of subtle nut and citrus blossom that are balanced by a clean fresh acidity, an elegant textural pallet that delivers both weight and length.

An exceptional year for Hawkes Bay fruit, the Chardonnay from our Gimblett Gravels vineyard showcases what is possible from this amazing area for wine production. A wine to cellar and watch.

2021 was one of the best in recent years. The growing conditions were warm and settled leading into the Christmas period, allowing our vines to grow and ripen in balance without any adverse weather events to contend with. This lead right through into harvesting with fruit arriving at the winery physiologically ripe and in perfect condition.
