Barons and Potter ‘The Countess’ Reserve HB Chardonnay 2014 $32 ★★★★
A brand new label produced for Hawke’s Bay’s Barons and Potter families by Hamish Jardine of Crab Farm, this is an ultra-tropical chardonnay showing hints of honey, spiced pineapple and peach crumble on the palate. There’s a hint of creaminess, but it’s the tang that prevails through to the finish. Available from www.nzwinecentre.co.nz
