From 21 year old vines with a roughly even mix of Clone 15 & 95 from this renowned and highly regarded vineyard. 2019 was a warm vintage in Hawke\u2019s Bay with higher than average growing degree days. Under screwcap. In the glass it presents as a medium gold colour, with aromas of nectarine and apricot stone. The palate is medium weight – the peach and nectarine flavours with an oak backbone reflecting both the 60% new oak but also the quality of the fruit. This is classic Hawke\u2019s Bay Chardonnay in a generous yet balanced style with an extended finish. Many years ahead. 93pts<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
