A rich yet supple texture unfolds in the mouth with layers of fruit, delicate oak spice and a creamy palate finishing with succulent acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2025 was another superb Hawkes Bay vintage with the Chardonnay fruit being harvested in perfect condition in late February and early March. The warm summer growing season gave us full-flavoured Chardonnay with refreshing natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit from several prestigious Chardonnay vineyards throughout Hawkes Bay feature in this wine. Once harvested and pressed the resulting juice was fermented in a mixture of seasoned oak barriques and tank with a combination of inoculated and wild yeast. Partial malolactic fermentation has added weight to the mid palate. Maturation on full yeast lees with regular stirring followed in barrel and tank prior to the wine being blended and bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: A classic match with most white meats, rich seafood dishes, cheese and salads. Also highly enjoyable on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VillaMaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52927342215485,"sku":"VMCCHARH256N","price":119.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/VillaMariaCellarSelectionHawke_sBayChardonnayNV.jpg?v=1765853702","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/villa-maria-cellar-selection-hawkes-bay-chardonnay-2025","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
