Lifted lemon blossom and heady wind fallen citrus aromas provide a floral complexity. This is combined with mineral notes of flint and a piercing fruit core of white peach. The palate has intense fruit flavours, and is balanced and tempered by fresh acidity and a chalky texture. This wine is testimony to this great Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay vintage.
