This is a sexy example of how restraint can be applied to quality Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay fruit.  People assume that because a wine is from the rockstar region of the Gimblett Gravels that it’s going to be a monster.  Yet this wine proves the opposite is just as impressive.  It shows really artistry at play, skill, subtlety and I love it.  Mineral, peach, white florals, delicate use of oak and beautifully sophisticated.
