Hancock and Sons Bridge Pa Reserve Chardonnay 2019, Hawkes Bay

Tasted over two days - the bouquet is tense, youthful, classic, fruity and toasty. Aromas of grapefruit peel and pith, peach, apple and toasty wood spices. On the palate - full-bodied with a satin texture, youthful wood tannins are contrasted by a core of yellow and white orchard fruit flavours laced with citrus. Lengthy dry finish with baking spices, vanilla and toasty barrel. Balanced and well made with a long finish. If you can wait long enough - best drinking from 2022 through 2028+
