Church Road 1 Single Vineyard Terraces Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2019 $100
Word on the street is that 2019 was a blistering blinder of a year for chardonnay in Hawke’s Bay and that the fruit was set to flourish into something more fabulous than ever before. The word on the street is entirely accurate. Immensely powerful roast peach, grilled grapefruit and softly charred toast notes unveil on the nose and each sip floods the palate with ripe citrus, mouthwatering acidity, caramelised oak layers and complex, lusciously proportioned textures. This is a powerful wine and one that is set to become a classic.
