Maison Noire Ngatarawa Road Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2021 $28
Just 120 cases were made of this refreshing, roast peach and citrus-laced chardonnay sourced from a vineyard in the iron-rich soils of Bridge Pa on Ngatarawa Road. Caramelised toasty oak, balanced acidity, cashew characters, orange zest, it’s all here. French winemaker Guillaume Thomas has crafted a highly complex, deliciously dry style with a creamy backbone and solid length of flavour.
