Beach House ‘The Levels’ Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2014 $35 ★★★★★
Crafted from the ‘Stony Beach Gravels’ of the Te Awanga coastline, this is a stonkingly good chardonnay that oozes smoked grapefruit, roast peach, juicy stonefruit intensity all rugged up in a blanket of vanilla, buttered cinnamon toast and cashew characters. Fresh, funky and quite simply outstanding. www.beachhouse.co.nz
