Squawking Magpie 'Counting Crows' Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2015

Description

"This is an elegantly restrained Chardonnay with subtle layers of rich citrus fruit, creamy and nutty oak, and a smooth flow. Clone 95 fruit from a single Dartmoor site, fully barrel-fermented, aged 15 months in 40% new French oak with 100% MLF." Raymond Chan

The 2015 single vineyard, barrel fermented Chardonnay offers sophisticated soft wine with restrained flavours of grapefruit, melon and a subtle blend of nut, spicy oak and lees characters.

100% Barrel fermented and Barrel aged in new and older French oak add complexity and texture.
