There’s nothing about chardonnay that Tim Turvey from Clearview can’t tell you because he and his team on Hawke’s Bay’s Te Awanga coast make pretty much every style of it under the sun. The ‘Coastal’ is soft and biscuity on the nose, with a glimmer of grapefruit, hints of flint and ripe peach, hazelnut and an ultra tangy mouthfeel makes this a new favourite for me. It’s delicious with nut-crusted fish fillets served with a sweet carrot mash. www.clearviewestate.co.nz
