Vidal Soler Chardonnay 2019, Hawkes Bay
Classic. Nicely complex, core of yellow stone fruits then sweet grapefruit and apple, a whisper of flinty mineral then dry river stone; vanilla and light smoky French oak. On the palate - creamy texture with a silky polish, flavours reflect the nose, medium plus acidity, warming alcohol; balanced, well made and lengthy. A lovely wine ready to enjoy from today and through 2023.
