Craggy Range
Craggy Range 'Block 19' Chardonnay 2014 Gimblett Gravels Hawke's Bay
Sleek, pristine bouquet of vanilla scented peach, pear and apple fruits; slightly forward oak yet still very youthful with wood spice and layers of new and older barrel, overall complex with an elegant charm. On the palate - delicious - with texture underpinning the white peach and tree fruit flavours, a touch of citrus peel and leesy sulphide adding complexity. youthful crunchy acidity, creamy oak layer, mild tannins and lengthy finish.
92 Points
