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.
