Clearview Estate

Clearview Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2018, Hawkes Bay

A brilliant sheen with deep straw and gold hues. The aromas are striking, familiar, seductive and enticing with suggestions of roasted yellow stone fruits and baked apple, a dry stone and sandy gravel earthy line, plenty of oak with a raw sugar, vanilla and toasty slightly smoky oak and sea air. Full-bodied with a creamy texture contrasted by textures of acidity, lees and alcohol. The best part about this wine is the persistent energy, texture and flavours. Fine oak tannins and long finish. Drinking well now and through 2024.
